Summary	A complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video
Description	FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. The project is made of several components: * ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another as well as grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card. * ffplay is a simple media player based on SDL and on the FFmpeg libraries. * libavcodec is a library containing all the FFmpeg audio/video encoders and decoders. * libavformat is a library containing parsers and generators for all common audio/video formats.
