.TH OGGDUMP 1 "JAN 2010" Linux "User Manuals"
.SH NAME
oggDump \- prints out information of ogg video files (.ogv, .ogg or oga)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B oggDump [options] file.ogv
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B OggDump 
gives detailed information about an ogg video file and prints these information with a given detail level.

Ogg files consist of a number of streams (video and audio). From the Ogg-container perspective, the streams are divided into pages. These pages usually have nearly the same size. The pages can be printed out with the \-g option.

From the stream perspective, every stream consists of packets. These packets carry a bunch of compressed audio samples in case of a vorbis stream or one video frame in case of a theora video stream. These packets could be of variable length and are places into the ogg pages. To toString the packets, use the \-p option.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP \-g

.IP \-p
Dumps the stream packets.

.IP \-l
.B <level>.

.IP \-s
Prompt for the stream that should be dumped. All other streams are ignored and will not be printed.

.IP \-o
.B <file>
Write the dump information to a file.
