1 Dumping processing tools manual
5 Concatenation of dump files is concatenation of their contents.
6 So cat and similar tools can be used to concatenate dumps.

40 Converts raw PCM audio to dump file containing said audio as PCM
43 Syntax: audiotodump.exe <options> <input> <stream> <output>
45 Convert raw PCM audio from file <input> to dump named <output>.
46 The audio data is placed as PCM-type stream named <stream>.
52 Assume that samples in file are 8 bits per channel.
56 See --16bit-little-endian
58 3.1.3 --16bit-little-endian
60 Assume that sample in file are 16 bits per channel and
61 little-endian. This is the default.
63 3.1.4 --16bit-big-endian
65 Assume that sample in file are 16 bits per channel and
70 Assume that samples in file have only one channel.
74 Assume that samples in file have two channels in order left,
75 right, left, right,... This is the default.
77 3.1.7 --stereo-swapped
79 Assume that samples in file have two channels in order right,
84 Assume that samples in file are signed. This is the default.
88 Assume that samples in file are unsigned.
92 Assume that sampling rate in input file is <rate> Hz.
94 3.1.11 --volume=<left>,<right>
96 Write initial volume <left> for left channel and <right> for
97 right channel to output.
99 3.1.12 --volume=<volume>
101 Write initial volume <volume> for both channels to output.
105 Copies section out of the dump.
107 syntax: cutdump.exe <input> <start> <end> <output>
109 Cuts section <start> to <end> from dump <input> and saves it to
112 <start> and <end> are specified in nanoseconds if these don't
113 contain '.'. Otherwise these are assumed to be in seconds. So for
114 example both 100000000 and 0.1 signifies 0.1s point.
118 Copies stream out of the dump.
120 syntax: demuxdump.exe <input> <stream> <output>
122 Copies stream <stream> from dump <input> and saves it to
127 The main dump to other formats converter.
129 syntax: dumpconvert.exe <options> [<subtitle options>...] [<audio
130 options>...] <files>...
132 Convert <files>... into other formats. Note that this tool takes
133 subtitle and audio options (and that they are shared with
138 6.1.1 --video-width=<width>
140 Set video output width to <width>. No default, must be specified.
142 6.1.2 --video-height=<height>
144 Set video output height to <height>. No default, must be
147 6.1.3 --video-framerate=<fps>
149 Set video output fps to <fps>. <fps> can also be 'auto' to allow
150 variable-framerate output. Default is fixed 60fps.

154 Set video scaling algorithm to <algo>. Currently following
155 algorithms are available:
157 • 'nearest' (nearest neighbor)

161 • 'average' (weighted average of covered pixels)
163 • 'lanczos1', 'lanczos2', 'lanczos3', 'lanczos4', 'lanczos5'
164 (higher-quality resizeers)
166 • 'xdrop9' (drop every 9th column followed by nearest neighbor,
167 handy for matching 720x400 text mode with 640x400 GFX mode)
169 • 'hqx2', 'hqx3', 'hqx4', 'hqx22', 'hqx32', 'hqx42', 'hqx2d',

240 syntax: --output-timecodev2=<filename>
242 Write video timestamp data in v2 format to <filename>. Very
243 useful for automatic-/variable-fps encoding.
247 syntax: --output-wav=<filename>

255 --output-x264=<filename>[,<x264-option>[,<x264-option[...]]]
257 Pipe video to x264 in order to encode h.264 to <filename>. Note
258 that video size is automatically set correctly. For x264 options
259 in form --foo bar, use foo=bar as <x264-option>. For x264 options

337 (default 100%). Use <rate> Hz for audio sampling rate (default
338 44100Hz). Note that this command accepts audio and subtitle
343 Resize image and show result. This is mainly intended for
346 syntax: testresizer.exe <image> <algo> <width> <height>
348 Read <image> and resize it to <width> by <height> using algorithm
349 <algo> (see dumpconvert.exe option --video-scale-algo for

352 15 Audio processing options
354 Audio processing has three stages:
356 • Per-stream premix filtering
362 For each, the operations are done in order they are given on
363 command line. If <stream> is specified for some operation, it
364 occurs as part of premix filtering for that stream. Otherwise it
365 occurs as postmix filtering.
367 15.1 --audio-mixer-filter=[<stream>:]<a0>,<a1>,...
369 Perform FIR filtering using coefficients <a0>, <a1>, ..., given
370 in order of increasing delay.

374 Perform IIR filtering using input coefficents <a0>, <a1>, ...,
375 output coefficients <b0>, <b1>,... given in order of increasing
378 15.3 --audio-mixer-gain=[<stream>:]<gain>
380 Amplify signal by <gain> dB.
382 15.4 --audio-mixer-attenuate=[<stream>:]<attenuation>

393 --video-hardsub-foo=bar on command line and as foo=bar in script
394 file. For option of form baz, the corresponding forms are
395 --video-hardsub-baz and baz. Options are processed in order they

397 script file option is encountered.
