The description of some of the currently available demuxers follows.
- @item -flv_demuxer @var{bool}
+@section applehttp
+
+Apple HTTP Live Streaming demuxer.
+
+This demuxer presents all AVStreams from all variant streams.
+The id field is set to the bitrate variant index number. By setting
+the discard flags on AVStreams (by pressing 'a' or 'v' in ffplay),
+the caller can decide which variant streams to actually receive.
+The total bitrate of the variant that the stream belongs to is
+available in a metadata key named "variant_bitrate".
+
++@section asf
++
++Advanced Systems Format demuxer.
++
++This demuxer is used to demux ASF files and MMS network streams.
++
++@table @option
++@item -no_resync_search @var{bool}
++Do not try to resynchronize by looking for a certain optional start code.
++@end table
++
+@anchor{concat}
+@section concat
+
+Virtual concatenation script demuxer.
+
+This demuxer reads a list of files and other directives from a text file and
+demuxes them one after the other, as if all their packet had been muxed
+together.
+
+The timestamps in the files are adjusted so that the first file starts at 0
+and each next file starts where the previous one finishes. Note that it is
+done globally and may cause gaps if all streams do not have exactly the same
+length.
+
+All files must have the same streams (same codecs, same time base, etc.).
+
+The duration of each file is used to adjust the timestamps of the next file:
+if the duration is incorrect (because it was computed using the bit-rate or
+because the file is truncated, for example), it can cause artifacts. The
+@code{duration} directive can be used to override the duration stored in
+each file.
+
+@subsection Syntax
+
+The script is a text file in extended-ASCII, with one directive per line.
+Empty lines, leading spaces and lines starting with '#' are ignored. The
+following directive is recognized:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item @code{file @var{path}}
+Path to a file to read; special characters and spaces must be escaped with
+backslash or single quotes.
+
+All subsequent directives apply to that file.
+
+@item @code{ffconcat version 1.0}
+Identify the script type and version. It also sets the @option{safe} option
+to 1 if it was to its default -1.
+
+To make FFmpeg recognize the format automatically, this directive must
+appears exactly as is (no extra space or byte-order-mark) on the very first
+line of the script.
+
+@item @code{duration @var{dur}}
+Duration of the file. This information can be specified from the file;
+specifying it here may be more efficient or help if the information from the
+file is not available or accurate.
+
+If the duration is set for all files, then it is possible to seek in the
+whole concatenated video.
+
+@end table
+
+@subsection Options
+
+This demuxer accepts the following option:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item safe
+If set to 1, reject unsafe file paths. A file path is considered safe if it
+does not contain a protocol specification and is relative and all components
+only contain characters from the portable character set (letters, digits,
+period, underscore and hyphen) and have no period at the beginning of a
+component.
+
+If set to 0, any file name is accepted.
+
+The default is -1, it is equivalent to 1 if the format was automatically
+probed and 0 otherwise.
+
+@end table
+
+@section flv
+
+Adobe Flash Video Format demuxer.
+
+This demuxer is used to demux FLV files and RTMP network streams.
+
+@table @option
++@item -flv_metadata @var{bool}
+Allocate the streams according to the onMetaData array content.
+@end table
+
+@section libgme
+
+The Game Music Emu library is a collection of video game music file emulators.
+
+See @url{http://code.google.com/p/game-music-emu/} for more information.
+
+Some files have multiple tracks. The demuxer will pick the first track by
+default. The @option{track_index} option can be used to select a different
+track. Track indexes start at 0. The demuxer exports the number of tracks as
+@var{tracks} meta data entry.
+
+For very large files, the @option{max_size} option may have to be adjusted.
+
+@section libquvi
+
+Play media from Internet services using the quvi project.
+
+The demuxer accepts a @option{format} option to request a specific quality. It
+is by default set to @var{best}.
+
+See @url{http://quvi.sourceforge.net/} for more information.
+
+FFmpeg needs to be built with @code{--enable-libquvi} for this demuxer to be
+enabled.
