The first one is a floating point value specifying the ratio of compression. The second is the size of the M2V, since the data is streamed to \fBM2VRequantiser\fP it cannot know the M2V size. .PP There isn't any options and the usage is: .PP .nf .fam C $ M2VRequantiser .fam T .fi .SH EXAMPLE The following command would recompress 'original.m2v', whose size is 1024000 bytes, by a factor of 1.25: .PP .nf .fam C $ M2VRequantiser 1.25 1024000 < original.m2v > requantised.m2v .fam T .fi .SH AUTHOR The m2vrequantiser was written by Martin Wimpress . .PP This manual page was written by Fabio Augusto De Muzio Tobich for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
