The transcode package contains transcode, tccat, tcdecode, tcdemux, tcextract, tcframe, tcprobe, tcscan, avicodec, avidump, avimerge, avisplit, avisync and input/filter/output modules.
transcode is the encoder's user interface that handles the plugins and other programs, being the glue between the modules. There are several well documented usage examples on either the homepage or the documentation included in the package.
tcdemux demultiplexes (separates) audio/video input that contains multiple streams, e.g. VOB files..
tcframe processes single video frames for different color encodings (RGB >-< YUV or similar).
avidump dumps audio or video stream of an given AVI file to stdout (for AVI conversion or extraction of audio streams).
avimerge merges AVI files of the same format. Do not try to merge AVI files of different formats, it will most likely result in errors (and format means same bitrates, too!).
avisync can shift audio in AVI files for better synchronizing of audio and video data signal.
Depending on the external libraries that are used, there are a great number of plugins to convert audio and video input to RAW format, process RAW video and audio and convert RAW audio and video to other formats to be written into a file type of choice. Read the documentation.
