+.SH NAME
+mmdtsdec \- Decode a Multimedia Display MPEG Transport Stream encoded file into Waveform Audio File format.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mmdtsdec
+[\fIOPTIONS\fR]
+\fIINPUT_FILE\fR
+\fIOUTPUT_FILE\fR
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Mmdtsdec is a command line program to decode Multimedia Display MPEG Transport Stream (TS) encoded files into into Waveform Audio File (WAV) format. Transport Stream is specified in the MPEG-2 Part 1 standard, and is commonly used to store audio, video, and data on DVD and Blu-ray discs. WAV files, on the other hand, are only lightly compressed, but are supported by a large number audio/video programs thanks to the format's relative simplicity. This program is part of the MakeMKV suite, and is designed first-and-foremost to complement MakeMKV.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.IP \fB-d\fR,\ \fB--dll\fR\ \fIFILE\fR
+Use the shared library \fIFILE\fR to decode the \fIINPUT_FILE\fR.
+
+.SH INPUT_FILE
+Each instance of this program must have an \fIINPUT_FILE\fR. This parameter should be the file name and path to an MPEG Transport Stream encoded file. (Which typically terminates with a \fI.ts\fR or \fI.dts\fR file extension.)
+
+.SH OUTPUT_FILE
+Each instance of this program must have an \fIOUTPUT_FILE\fR. The file specified by this parameter should not exist prior to this program being executed. If \fIOUTPUT_FILE\fR already exists, it will be unconditionally overwritten. Since a Waveform Audio File will be produced, this file name should end with the \fI.wav\fR file extension.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following examples demonstrate the proper syntax for performing various common operations.
+
+\fB1.\fR\ Decode \fIInputFile.dts\fR to \fIOutputFile.wav\fR using the default decoder library.
+

+ \fBmmdtsdec InputFile.dts OutputFile.wav\fR
