# Basic Usage
## Getting help
```shell
$ packager --help
```
## Media file analysis
Shaka Packager can be used to inspect the content of a media file and dump basic
stream information.
```shell
$ packager input=some_content.mp4 --dump_stream_info
```
The output looks like:
```shell
File "some_content.mp4":
Found 2 stream(s).
Stream [0] type: Video
codec_string: avc1.4d001e
time_scale: 24000

trick_play_factor: 0
nalu_length_size: 4

```
## Basic transmuxing
Shaka Packager can be used to extract streams, optionally transmuxes the streams
from one container format to another container format.
Here is a simple command that extracts video and audio from the input file:
```shell
$ packager in=some_content.mp4,stream=video,out=video.mp4 \
in=some_content.mp4,stream=audio,out=audio.mp4
```
Shaka Packager is also capable of more complex tasks, such as applying
encryption, packaging contents to DASH or HLS formats, etc. Refer
