- For example, video4linux:/dev/video1?width:320&height:240

- Also, note the use of ':' instead of '=' for parameters.
- Use 'ffmpeg -formats' to see a list of supported protocols

- Format parameters only appear to be useful with 'video4linux' or

- width, height, frame_rate, frame_rate_base, and standard (ntsc|pal).
- For 'audio_device' the parameters are channels and sample_rate.

pango
- Description
-
- A title generator that uses the Pango international text layout
- and Freetype2 font renderer.
-
- Constructor Argument
-
- string file - a text file containing Pango markup, see:
- http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html
- - requires xml-like encoding special chars from:
- <, >, & -to- <, >, &
-
- Details
-
- Supplying a filename with extension ".txt" causes the Fezzik
- producer to load with pango. If the filename begins with "+" the
- pango producer interprets the filename as pango text. This is a
- shortcut to embed titles in inigo commands. For westley, it is
- recommended that you embed the title text in the property value.
-
- Pango has builtin scaling. It will rescale the originally rendered
- title to whatever the consumer requests. Therefore, it will lose
- its aspect ratio if so requested, and it is up to the consumer to
- request a proper width and height that maintains the image aspect.

- producer that outputs yuv, but it will be limited to the luma
- gamut of 220 values.

region
- Description
-
- Apply zero or more filters to B frame as it is composited onto
- a region of the A frame. The "shape" of the region can be defined
- by the alpha channel of a third producer.
-
- Constructor Argument
-
- resource - a shape producer
-
- Initialisation Properties
-
- string resource - nothing is rectangle, "circle" is a pixbuf-
- generated SVG circle, anything else is loaded by the factory.
- string factory - the service that creates the shape producer.
- - the default is fezzik.
- string filter[N] - one or more filters to apply. All filter
- properties are passed using the same filter "key"
- Any property starting with "composite." is passed to the
- encapsulated composite transition.
