NAME
       oggCut - extracts parts of an ogg file (.ogv, .ogg and .oga)

SYNOPSIS
       oggCut [options] inputfile outputfile

DESCRIPTION
       oggCut  creates	a  new	ogg  file named outputfile as a subpart of the
       original file named inputfile

       oggCut is able to cut video (theora) only files,	 audio	(vorbis)  only
       files or files with both video and audio streams.

       The  start  and end time for the cut area must be given in milliseconds
       with the options -s and -e.

       As a video stream consists of I‐frames (which are full pictures) and P‐
       frames  (which  are  delta  pictures to the leading I‐frame) the oggCut
       algorithm searches for the first I‐frame. If a video file  would	 start
       with  a	p‐frame,  the player is not able to interpret this picture, as
       the leading I‐frame (on where it is based) is  not  available.	oggCut
       starts  the I‐frame search at the start time given by the -s option. So
       expect a shorter video time than the calculated	seconds	 for  the  new
       file.

       oggCut does not do any reencoding, therefore the output quality is com‐
       pletely the same as from the input file.

       For those involved into the ogg container format: The file  is  cut  on
       packet basis, not on page basis.

       There  is another tool called oggCut out in the internet with a differ‐
       ent synopis. This one has not been written by the author of  this  tool
       you are actually using.

OPTIONS
       -s     Cut start position in ms. If the input file is a video file, the
	      cut area starts with the next keyframe found. Default: 0

	      Example: -s 5000

       -l     Length of the cut area in ms. If -e is also given, the length is
	      ignored.

	      Example: -l 10000

       -e     Cut  end position in ms. If -l is also used, the end position is
	      prefered. If the end position is set  to	-1,  the  end  of  the
	      stream is assumed.

	      Default: -1

	      Example: -e 20000

EXAMPLE
       oggCut -s 1000 -e 21000 myVideo.ogv myOutput.ogv

       Creates	a  new	video  called  myOutput.ogv from the video myVideo.ogv
       starting after 1 second ending after 21 seconds
