In raising this issue, I confirm the following:

I have read and understood the contributors guide.
I have checked that the bug-fix I am reporting can be replicated, or that the feature I am suggesting isn't already present.
I have checked that the issue I'm posting isn't already reported.
I have checked that the issue I'm porting isn't already solved and no duplicates exist in closed issues and in opened issues
I have checked the pull requests tab for existing solutions/implementations to my issue/suggestion.
I have used the latest available version of CCExtractor to verify this issue exists.
I have ticked all the boxes in this section and to prove it I'm deleting the section completely to remove boilerplate text.

Additional information

What is the recommended method to input SCC files into ccextractor on a non-Windows platform?

I can see that ccextrator can accept McPoodle Raw format...

Input formats:
       With the exception of McPoodle's raw format, which is just the closed
       caption data with no other info, CCExtractor can usually detect the
       input format correctly.

Therefore '-in=raw' would be the appropriate format.

The challenge is then how to get the SCC files into McPoodle raw format in a non-Windows environment. McPoodle includes SCC2RAW.exe (Windows Binary), but McPoodle's project is only compiled for Windows.

The ccextractor FAQ suggests that the ccextractor team ported McPoodle's code... "Lots of code came originally from McPoodle's tools (even though it was ported from Perl to C)", and ccextractor is thankfully cross-platform. Did the result of this porting process expose an SCC2RAW method in a way that could be used to allow scc as an input into ccextractor?

(or does anyone know of a cross-platform port of McPoodle suite which I may have missed?)

Thanks for a great tool.
