+
+@section Video and Audio grabbing
+
+FFmpeg can grab video and audio from devices given that you specify the input
+format and device.
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 /tmp/out.mpg
+@end example
+
+Note that you must activate the right video source and channel before
+launching FFmpeg with any TV viewer such as xawtv
+(@url{http://linux.bytesex.org/xawtv/}) by Gerd Knorr. You also
+have to set the audio recording levels correctly with a
+standard mixer.
+
+@section X11 grabbing
+
+FFmpeg can grab the X11 display.
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -f x11grab -s cif -r 25 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg
+@end example
+
+0.0 is display.screen number of your X11 server, same as
+the DISPLAY environment variable.
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -f x11grab -s cif -r 25 -i :0.0+10,20 /tmp/out.mpg
+@end example
+
+0.0 is display.screen number of your X11 server, same as the DISPLAY environment
+variable. 10 is the x-offset and 20 the y-offset for the grabbing.
+
+@section Video and Audio file format conversion
+
+* FFmpeg can use any supported file format and protocol as input:
+
+Examples:
+
+* You can use YUV files as input:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i /tmp/test%d.Y /tmp/out.mpg
+@end example
+
+It will use the files:
+@example
+/tmp/test0.Y, /tmp/test0.U, /tmp/test0.V,
+/tmp/test1.Y, /tmp/test1.U, /tmp/test1.V, etc...
+@end example
+
+The Y files use twice the resolution of the U and V files. They are
+raw files, without header. They can be generated by all decent video
+decoders. You must specify the size of the image with the @option{-s} option
+if FFmpeg cannot guess it.
+
+* You can input from a raw YUV420P file:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i /tmp/test.yuv /tmp/out.avi
+@end example
+
+test.yuv is a file containing raw YUV planar data. Each frame is composed
+of the Y plane followed by the U and V planes at half vertical and
+horizontal resolution.
+
+* You can output to a raw YUV420P file:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i mydivx.avi hugefile.yuv
+@end example
+
+* You can set several input files and output files:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i /tmp/a.wav -s 640x480 -i /tmp/a.yuv /tmp/a.mpg
+@end example
+
+Converts the audio file a.wav and the raw YUV video file a.yuv
+to MPEG file a.mpg.
+
+* You can also do audio and video conversions at the same time:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i /tmp/a.wav -ar 22050 /tmp/a.mp2
+@end example
+
+Converts a.wav to MPEG audio at 22050 Hz sample rate.
+
+* You can encode to several formats at the same time and define a
+mapping from input stream to output streams:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i /tmp/a.wav -ab 64k /tmp/a.mp2 -ab 128k /tmp/b.mp2 -map 0:0 -map 0:0
+@end example
+
+Converts a.wav to a.mp2 at 64 kbits and to b.mp2 at 128 kbits. '-map
+file:index' specifies which input stream is used for each output
+stream, in the order of the definition of output streams.
+
+* You can transcode decrypted VOBs:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i snatch_1.vob -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k snatch.avi
+@end example
+
+This is a typical DVD ripping example; the input is a VOB file, the
+output an AVI file with MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio. Note that in this
+command we use B-frames so the MPEG-4 stream is DivX5 compatible, and
+GOP size is 300 which means one intra frame every 10 seconds for 29.97fps
+input video. Furthermore, the audio stream is MP3-encoded so you need
+to enable LAME support by passing @code{--enable-libmp3lame} to configure.
+The mapping is particularly useful for DVD transcoding
+to get the desired audio language.
+
+NOTE: To see the supported input formats, use @code{ffmpeg -formats}.
+
+* You can extract images from a video, or create a video from many images:
+
+For extracting images from a video:
+@example
+ffmpeg -i foo.avi -r 1 -s WxH -f image2 foo-%03d.jpeg
+@end example
+
+This will extract one video frame per second from the video and will
+output them in files named @file{foo-001.jpeg}, @file{foo-002.jpeg},
+etc. Images will be rescaled to fit the new WxH values.
+
+If you want to extract just a limited number of frames, you can use the
+above command in combination with the -vframes or -t option, or in
+combination with -ss to start extracting from a certain point in time.
+
+For creating a video from many images:
+@example
+ffmpeg -f image2 -i foo-%03d.jpeg -r 12 -s WxH foo.avi
+@end example
+
+The syntax @code{foo-%03d.jpeg} specifies to use a decimal number
+composed of three digits padded with zeroes to express the sequence
+number. It is the same syntax supported by the C printf function, but
+only formats accepting a normal integer are suitable.
+
+* You can put many streams of the same type in the output:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i test1.avi -i test2.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -vcodec copy -acodec copy test12.avi -newvideo -newaudio
+@end example
+
+In addition to the first video and audio streams, the resulting
+output file @file{test12.avi} will contain the second video
+and the second audio stream found in the input streams list.
+
+The @code{-newvideo}, @code{-newaudio} and @code{-newsubtitle}
+options have to be specified immediately after the name of the output
+file to which you want to add them.
