[ excerpt (with adaptations) from developer's README ]
|
|
ffmpeg is a hyper fast realtime audio/video encoder, a streaming
|
|
server and a generic audio and video file converter.
|
|
|
|
It can convert a standard video source into several file formats
|
|
based on DCT/motion compensation encoding. Sound is compressed in
|
|
MPEG audio layer 2 or using an AC3 compatible stream.
|
|
|
|
What makes ffmpeg interesting ?
|
|
- Simple and efficient video encoder: outputs MPEG1, H263, Real
|
|
Video(tm), MPEG4, DIVX and MJPEG compatible bitstreams using the
|
|
same encoder core.
|
|
- Hyper fast MPEG audio layer 2 compression (50 times faster than
|
|
realtime on a K6 500).

|
ffmpeg is made of two programs:
|
|
* ffmpeg: soft VCR which encodes in real time to several formats.
|
|
It can also encode from any supported input file format to any
|
|
input supported format.
|
|
* ffserver: high performance live broadcast streaming server based
|
|
on the ffmpeg core encoders.
