NAME

ogginfo - gives information about Ogg files.

SYNOPSIS

ogginfo file1.ogg ... fileN.ogg

DESCRIPTION

ogginfo reads one or more Ogg files and decodes the comments contained within, writing them to standard output, in a "attribute=value" format, one per line. The first attribute printed will always be the filename of the stream. ogginfo cannot accept URLs.

In addition to the comments, ogginfo will also print the following attributes for each logical bitstream within the file:

serial: The serial number of the logical bitstream.
header_integrity: "pass" if the header is intact, and "fail" if it is corrupted.
stream_integrity: "pass" if the stream contains no bad packets or holes (not counting the last packet), and "fail" otherwise.
stream_truncated: "true" if the last good packet in the stream is not marked as the last packet and "false" if the stream is complete.
vendor: The vendor string of the encoder used to make this stream.
bitrate_upper: The upper bitrate limit of the stream, or "none" if not set.
bitrate_nominal: The "target" bitrate of the stream, or "none" if not set.
bitrate_lower: The lower bitrate limit of the stream, or "none" if not set.
bitrate_average: The average bitrate of the stream.
length: Length of of the file in seconds.
playtime: Playing time in a humanly-readable MM:SS format.

At the end of each file, ogginfo will also print:

total_playtime: The total playing time for the entire file in seconds.

OPTIONS

None.

BUGS

Although ogginfo properly handles chained bitstreams, it cannot handle multiplexed logical bitstreams
