You need to replace COMMAND with one of the subcommands info (extract disc info), backup (create a full backup) or mkv (copy a single title (eg. an episode or the movie) from the disc). Then you can append options to further modify the behaviour.
So, for example, to dump the disc information to a JSON file you can run

pymakemkv info --info-file cool-movie.json

To copy the main title to a mkvs/ directory, you can run

pymakemkv mkv -o mkvs

The usage of the CLI mostly follows conventions of other CLI tools on unix-like operating systems.

I just tried to use it on windows (I don't use it too often) and encountered some smaller issues and fixed them. So make sure you update to version 0.2.2.

It would be great if you shared any issues you have, especially since I don't use the CLI myself.
