    <para>
      <application>FFmpeg</application> is a solution to record, convert and
      stream audio and video. It is a very fast video and audio converter and it
      can also acquire from a live audio/video source. Designed to be intuitive,
      the command-line interface (<command>ffmpeg</command>) tries to figure out
      all the parameters, when possible. <application>FFmpeg</application> can
      also convert from any sample rate to any other, and resize video on the
      fly with a high quality polyphase filter.
      <application>FFmpeg</application> can use a Video4Linux compatible video
      source and any Open Sound System audio source.

        Some harmless warnings may be output by the build process regarding

    <para>
      If you have <xref linkend="doxygen"/> installed

    </para>

<screen remap="doc"><userinput>doxygen doc/Doxyfile</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      The fate-suite tests include comparisons with installed files, and should

      Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

    <para>
      If the PDF and Postscript documentation was built, issue the following

    </para>

<screen role="root"
        remap="doc"><userinput>install -v -m644 doc/*.pdf /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg-&ffmpeg-version; &amp;&amp;

    <para>
      If you used <command>doxygen</command> to manually create the API
      documentation, install it by issuing the following commands

    </para>

<screen role="root"
        remap="doc"><userinput>install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg-&ffmpeg-version;/api                     &amp;&amp;

find /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg-&ffmpeg-version;/api -type d -exec chmod -c 0755 \{} \;</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To properly test the installation you must have <xref linkend="rsync"/>
      installed and follow the instructions for the <ulink
      url="https://www.ffmpeg.org/fate.html"> FFmpeg Automated Testing
      Environment</ulink> (FATE). First, about 1 GB of sample files used to
      run FATE are downloaded with the command:
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>make fate-rsync SAMPLES=fate-suite/</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      The <filename class="directory">fate-suite</filename> directory is
      created and the files are downloaded there. That command actually runs an
      rsync command to obtain the sample files.  You may want to compress and
      keep this directory for testing again, for testing in another system,
      or for when a new version of ffmpeg is released. Then, unpack the sample
      files in the source directory, and run the <command>make fate-rsync
      ...</command> command above to sync with the upstream repository. The
      download size and time are drastically reduced by doing this.  Estimated
      values in "Package Information" do not include the download SBU. Some
      samples may have been removed in newer versions, so in order to be sure
      local and server fate samples are identical when you use previously
      saved samples, run the following command:
    </para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>rsync -vrltLW  --delete --timeout=60 --contimeout=60 \
      rsync://fate-suite.ffmpeg.org/fate-suite/ fate-suite/</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Next, execute FATE with the following commands (there are more than 3800
      tests in the suite):
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>make fate THREADS=<replaceable>N</replaceable> SAMPLES=fate-suite/ | tee ../fate.log &amp;&amp;
grep ^TEST ../fate.log | wc -l</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      where <replaceable>N</replaceable> is an integer,
      <replaceable>N</replaceable> &le; number of cores in the system.
   </para>

   <para>
     A successful run should return no errors or warnings, just a list of tests
     and total amount at the end.
   </para>
