NAME¶
kateenc - create Kate streams from text input
SYNOPSIS¶
kateenc [-hVM] [-o outfile] [-l
language] [-c category] [-s
serial] [-C tag=value] [-R
threshold] [-K threshold] -t
filetype [ infile ]
DESCRIPTION¶
kateenc creates Kate streams from input files (SubRip SRT subtitles, LRC
lyrics, and libkate's custom description language). When saved to an Ogg
stream (the default behavior), a Kate stream may then be merged with other Ogg
streams (eg, a Theora video) using the oggz tools.
OPTIONS¶
- -h
- Show command line help.
- -V
- Show version information.
- -M
- Allow simple HTML-like markup in SRT files. If this
parameter is used, strings such as "<i>" will be
interpreted to mean italics, rather than appear as such. Note that various
players interpret a slightly different set of HTML tags, and some do
not.
- -o outfile
- Write the output Kate stream to the given file name (writes
to stdout if not specified).
- -l language
- Sets the language for the stream (default is the language
specified in the input, or none).
- -c category
- Sets the category for the stream (default is the category
specified in the input, or none).
- -s serial
- Sets the serial number for the output Kate stream (does not
apply to raw streams).
- -C tag=value
- Adds a comment to encode into the output Kate stream. The
comment must be of the form tag=value, and comply with the Vorbis comment
rules (eg, tag is composed of a particular subset of ASCII characters, and
value is valid UTF-8). Note that you might have to escape or quote the
comment for it to be seen as a single command line parameter.
- -t filetype
- Specifies the type of the input (srt, lrc, kate)
- -R threshold
- Use repeat packets, with the given threshold (in seconds).
Data packets will be repeated at intervals of roughly threshold seconds,
while active.
- -K threshold
- Use keepalive packets, with the given threshold (in
seconds). Keepalive packets will be emitted when no other packet has been
emitted for roughly threshold seconds.
EXAMPLES¶
Create a Kate stream for Welsh subtitles from a SubRip file:
kateenc -t srt -l cy -c SUB -o output.ogg input.srt
