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