Command line usage
CCExtractor's main program is console based. There's a GUI for Windows, as well as provisions so other programs can easily interface with CCExtractor, but the heavy lefting is done by a command line program (that can be called by scripts so integration with larger processes is straightforward).
Running CCExtractor without any parameter will display a help screen with all the options. As of version 0.96.5 the help screen is as follows:
1
CCExtractor 0.96.5, Carlos Fernandez Sanz, Volker Quetschke..
