SCC input support within ccextractor 0.96.x is very cool. Thank-you so much ❤️

Just a minor, low priority, OCD nit...

Observation

ccextractor 0.96.4 CLI syntax does not support a command line option for --input scc input format override.

It does a fine job of auto-detecting SCC & SC2 as an input format bases on the file header magic, but current behavior is inconsistent syntax with other input formats.

Request

Support for --input scc input format override, just for syntax completeness & consistency with other input formats and for use in scripts which specify the input format.

Current behavior (using 0.96.4 latest stable)

$ /opt/ccextractor-0.96.4/ccextractor --stdout --input scc --out ttxt ./infile.scc
error: invalid value 'scc' for '--input <format>'
  [possible values: ts, ps, es, asf, wtv, bin, raw, mp4, m2ts, mkv, mxf]

For more information, try '--help'.

$ /opt/ccextractor-0.96.4/ccextractor --help | grep -A20 "Input Formats:"
Input Formats:
      --input <format>
          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. Use this parameter to override the detected

          Possible values:
          - ts:   For Transport Streams
          - ps:   For Program Streams
          - es:   For Elementary Streams
          - asf:  ASF container (such as DVR-MS)
          - wtv:  Windows Television (WTV)
          - bin:  CCExtractor's own binary format
          - raw:  For McPoodle's raw files
          - mp4:  MP4/MOV/M4V and similar
          - m2ts: BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream
          - mkv:  Matroska container and WebM
          - mxf:  Material Exchange Format (MXF)

Output Formats:
      --out <format>

Thank-you for such a quick turnaround on this minor nit, Carlos. With SCC input support, 0.96.x is an exciting release and reflects all the hard work from you and the team. Appreciated.
