flvtool21

A manipulation tool for flash video files

Usage

flvtool2 {[-ACDPUVaciklnoprstvx] ... [-key:value] ... in-path | stdin [{out-path | stdout}]}

Overview

If out-path is omitted, in-path will be overwritten. In-path can be a single file, or a directory. If in-path is a directory, out-path has to be likewise, or can be omitted. Directory recursion is controlled by the -r switch. You can use stdin and stdout keywords as in- and out-path for piping or redirecting.

Chain commands like that: -UP (updates FLV file than prints out meta data)

Commands

-A

Adds tags from -t tags-file

-C

Cuts file using -i inpoint and -o outpoint

-D

Debugs file (writes a lot to stdout)

-H

Helpscreen will be shown

-P

Prints out meta data to stdout

-U

Updates FLV with an onMetaTag event

Switches

-a

Collapse space between cut regions

-c

Compatibility mode calculates some onMetaTag values differently

-key:value

Key-value-pair for onMetaData tag (overwrites generated values)

-i timestamp

Inpoint for cut command in miliseconds

-k

Keyframe mode slides onCuePoint(navigation) tags added by the add command to nearest keyframe position

-l

Logs FLV stream reading to stream.log in current directory

-n

Number of tag to debug

-o timestamp

Outpoint for cut command in miliseconds

-p

Preserve mode only updates FLVs that have not been processed before

-r

Recursion for directory processing

-s

Simulation mode never writes FLV data to out-path

-t path

Tagfile (MetaTags written in XML)

-v

Verbose mode

-x

XML mode instead of YAML mode
