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

344 Support for most of the dependency packages requires using options passed
345 to the <command>configure</command> script. View the the output from
346 <command>./configure --help</command> for complete information about
347 enabling dependency packages. The only reason to enable a specific codec
348 (and make <application>FFmpeg</application> link to the prerequisite
349 shared library installed on your system) is to make
350 <application>FFmpeg</application> compile an <emphasis>encoder</emphasis>
351 and/or <emphasis>decoder</emphasis> for that codec. If you just want to
352 use <application>FFmpeg</application> to watch video or listen to music
353 (via other applications such as <application>Gstreamer</application> or
354 <application>Xine</application>) then you will not benefit from linking
355 <application>FFmpeg</application> to other codec libraries.
