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