oggz-sort \(em Sort the pages of an Ogg file in order of presentation time. 

.SH "SYNOPSIS" 

.PP 

\fBoggz-sort\fR [\-o \fBfilename\fR  | \-\-output \fBfilename\fR ] filename

.SH "Description" 

.PP 

\fBoggz-sort\fR sorts an Ogg file, interleaving 

pages in order of presentation time.

It correctly interprets the granulepos timestamps of

Ogg CELT, CMML, Dirac, FLAC, Kate, PCM, Speex, Theora and Vorbis

bitstreams.

Run \fBoggz-known-codecs\fP\fB(1)\fP for a full list

of codecs known by the installed version of oggz.

.PP 

Some encoders produce files with incorrect page ordering; for example, 

some audio and video pages may occur out of order. Although these files 

are usually playable, it can be difficult to accurately seek or scrub  

on them, increasing the likelihood of glitches during playback. 

Players may also need to use more memory in order to buffer the audio 

and video data for synchronized playback, which can be a problem when 

the files are viewed on low-memory devices. 

.PP 

Some older Ogg encoders also produce pages which incorrectly have 

granulepos timestamps recorded that shouldn't be: pages which have no 

completed packets must have a granulepos of \-1. 

\fBoggz-sort\fR will correct such granulepos during the 

process of sorting. 

.PP 

The tool \fBoggz-validate\fR can be used to check the 

relative ordering of packets in a file, and also to detect incorrect 

granulepos on pages with no completed packets. If either of these errors 

are reported, or use \fBoggz-sort\fR to fix the problem. 

.SH "Options" 

.PP 

\fBoggz-sort\fR accepts the following options: 

.SS "Miscellaneous options" 

.IP "\-o \fBfilename\fR, \-\-output \fBfilename\fR" 10 

Write output to the specified 

\fBfilename\fR instead of printing it to 

standard output. 

.IP "\-h, \-\-help" 10 

Display usage information and exit. 

.IP "\-v, \-\-version" 10 

Output version information and exit.
