6pdixtract is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY
7WARRANTY. No author or distributor accepts responsibility to anyone for the
8consequences of using it or for whether it serves any particular purpose or
9works at all, unless he says so in writing. Refer to the GNU General Public
10License (the "GPL") for full details.

12Everyone is granted permission to copy, modify and redistribute pdixtract,
13but only under the conditions described in the GPL. A copy of this license
14is supposed to have been given to you along with pdixtract so you can know
15your rights and responsibilities. It should be in a file named COPYLEFT,
16or, if there is no file named COPYLEFT, a file named COPYING. Among other
17things, the copyright notice and this notice must be preserved on all
18copies.

20We explicitly state here what we believe is already implied by the GPL: if
21the pdixtract program is distributed as a separate set of sources and a
22separate executable file which are aggregated on a storage medium together
23with another program, this in itself does not bring the other program under
24the GPL, nor does the mere fact that such a program or the procedures for
25constructing it invoke the pdixtract executable bring any other part of the
26program under the GPL.

29 usage: pdixtract [options] <pdi-file-name>[.pdi] [files...]
30
31 options:
32 -l list only (directory mode)
33 -i <iso> convert .pdi-file-set into .iso-image <iso>[.iso]
34 -r remove .pdi files as soon as possible
35 -d <dir> extract files to directory <dir>
36 -m <dir> create directory <dir> and extract files int it
37 -v create VIDEO_TS directory and extract files into it
38 -x same as -r -m <pdi-file-name> -v
39
40 a trailing '*' may be used as wildcard for file selection,
41 e.g. pdixtract -v movie vts_01*
42 extracts Video Title Set 1 from movie.pdi* to dir VIDEO_TS

45It is recommended to use this program in combination with the frontend
46PDItool that provides a fairly intuitive Graphical User Interface to
47PDIxtracts options.
