Usage: oggenc [options] inputfile [...]
OPTIONS:
General:
-Q, --quiet Produce no output to stderr
-h, --help Print this help text
-v, --version Print the version number
-k, --skeleton Adds an Ogg Skeleton bitstream
-r, --raw Raw mode. Input files are read directly as PCM data
-B, --raw-bits=n Set bits/sample for raw input. Default is 16
-C, --raw-chan=n Set number of channels for raw input. Default is 2
-R, --raw-rate=n Set samples/sec for raw input. Default is 44100
--raw-endianness 1 for bigendian, 0 for little (defaults to 0)
-b, --bitrate Choose a nominal bitrate to encode at. Attempt
to encode at a bitrate averaging this. Takes an
argument in kbps. By default, this produces a VBR
encoding, equivalent to using -q or --quality.
See the --managed option to use a managed bitrate
targetting the selected bitrate.
--managed Enable the bitrate management engine. This will allow
much greater control over the precise bitrate(s) used,
but encoding will be much slower. Don't use it unless
you have a strong need for detailed control over
bitrate, such as for streaming.
-m, --min-bitrate Specify a minimum bitrate (in kbps). Useful for
encoding for a fixed-size channel. Using this will
automatically enable managed bitrate mode (see
--managed).
-M, --max-bitrate Specify a maximum bitrate in kbps. Useful for
streaming applications. Using this will automatically
enable managed bitrate mode (see --managed).
--advanced-encode-option option=value
Sets an advanced encoder option to the given value.
The valid options (and their values) are documented
in the man page supplied with this program. They are
for advanced users only, and should be used with
caution.
-q, --quality Specify quality, between -1 (very low) and 10 (very
high), instead of specifying a particular bitrate.
This is the normal mode of operation.
Fractional qualities (e.g. 2.75) are permitted
The default quality level is 3.
--resample n Resample input data to sampling rate n (Hz)
--downmix Downmix stereo to mono. Only allowed on stereo
input.
-s, --serial Specify a serial number for the stream. If encoding
multiple files, this will be incremented for each
stream after the first.
--discard-comments Prevents comments in FLAC and Ogg FLAC files from
being copied to the output Ogg Vorbis file.
Naming:
-o, --output=fn Write file to fn (only valid in single-file mode)
-n, --names=string Produce filenames as this string, with %%a, %%t, %%l,
%%n, %%d replaced by artist, title, album, track number,
and date, respectively (see below for specifying these).
%%%% gives a literal %%.
-X, --name-remove=s Remove the specified characters from parameters to the
-n format string. Useful to ensure legal filenames.
-P, --name-replace=s Replace characters removed by --name-remove with the
characters specified. If this string is shorter than the
--name-remove list or is not specified, the extra
characters are just removed.
Default settings for the above two arguments are platform
specific.
-c, --comment=c Add the given string as an extra comment. This may be
used multiple times. The argument should be in the
format "tag=value".
-d, --date Date for track (usually date of performance)
-N, --tracknum Track number for this track
-t, --title Title for this track
-l, --album Name of album
-a, --artist Name of artist
-G, --genre Genre of track
If multiple input files are given, then multiple
instances of the previous five arguments will be used,
in the order they are given. If fewer titles are
specified than files, OggEnc will print a warning, and
reuse the final one for the remaining files. If fewer
track numbers are given, the remaining files will be
unnumbered. For the others, the final tag will be reused
for all others without warning (so you can specify a date
once, for example, and have it used for all the files)
INPUT FILES:
OggEnc input files must currently be 24, 16, or 8 bit PCM WAV, AIFF, or AIFF/C
files, 32 bit IEEE floating point WAV, and optionally FLAC or Ogg FLAC. Files
may be mono or stereo (or more channels) and any sample rate.
Alternatively, the --raw option may be used to use a raw PCM data file, which
must be 16 bit stereo little-endian PCM ('headerless wav'), unless additional
parameters for raw mode are specified.
You can specify taking the file from stdin by using - as the input filename.
In this mode, output is to stdout unless an output filename is specified
with -o
