oggdec(1) Vorbis Tools oggdec(1)NAMEoggdec - simple decoder, Ogg Vorbis file to PCM audio file
(WAV or RAW).
SYNOPSISoggdec [ -Qhv ] [ -b bits_per_sample ] [ -e endianness ] [
-R rawness ] [ -s signedness ] [ -o outputfile ] file ...
DESCRIPTIONoggdec decodes Ogg Vorbis files into PCM-encoded ("uncom
pressed") audio files, either WAV or RAW format.
For each input file, oggdec writes to a filename based on
the input filename, but with the extension changed to
".wav" or ".raw" as appropriate.
If the input file is specified as - , then oggdec will
read from stdin, and write to stdout unless an output
filename is specified. Likewise, an output filename of -
will cause output to be to stdout.
Writing WAV format to stdout is a bad idea. WAV requires
a seekable medium for the header to be rewritten after all
the data is written out; stdout is not seekable.
OPTIONS-q, --quiet
Suppresses program output.
-h, --help
Print help message.
-v, --version
Display version information.
-b n, --bits=n
Bits per sample. Valid values are 8 or 16.
-e n, --endian=n
Set endianness for 16-bit output. 0 (default) is
little-endian (Intel byte order). 1 is big-endian
(sane byte order).
-R n, --raw=n
Output in raw format. If not specified, writes WAV
file (RIFF headers).
-s n, --sign=n
Set signedness for output. 0 for unsigned, 1
(default) for signed.
-o filename, --output=filename
Write output to specified filename. This option is
only valid if one input [file] is specified.
EXAMPLES
Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.wav
as little-endian unsigned 16-bit (default options):
oggdec enabler.ogg
Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as headerless
little-endian unsigned 16-bit:
oggdec --raw=1 enabler.ogg
Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.crazymonkey as unsigned
8-bit:
oggdec-b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg
Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as big-endian signed
16-bit (any of the following):
oggdec-R 1 -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg
oggdec-R 1 -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - <
enabler.ogg
oggdec-R 1 -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg >
enabler.raw
Mass decoding (foo.ogg to foo.wav, bar.ogg to bar.wav,
quux.ogg to quux.wav, etc.):
oggdec *.ogg
