- FFmpeg version 0.3.4 - (c) 2000,2001 Gerard Lantau.
- 1) Introduction
- ---------------
- ffmpeg is a hyper fast realtime audio/video encoder and streaming
- server. It can grab from a standard Video4Linux video source and
- convert it into several file formats based on DCT/motion compensation
- encoding. Sound is compressed in MPEG audio layer 2 or using an AC3
- compatible stream.
- What makes ffmpeg interesting ?
- - Innovative streaming technology : multiformat, real time encoding,
- simple configuration.
- - Simple and efficient video encoder: outputs MPEG1, H263, Real
- Video(tm), MPEG4 (aka open divx) and MJPEG compatible bitstreams
- using the same encoder core.
- - Real time encoding (25 fps in 352x288 on a K6 500) using the video4linux API.
- - Generates I and P frames, which means it is far better than a MJPEG
- encoder.
- - Hyper fast MPEG audio layer 2 compression (50 times faster than
- realtime on a K6 500).
- - Hyper fast AC3 compatible encoder.
- - simple and very small portable C source code, easy to understand and
- to modify. It be may the smallest decent MPEG encoder :-)
- - optional non real time higher quality encoding.
- ffmpeg is made of two programs:
- * ffmpeg: soft VCR which encodes in real time to several formats.
- * ffserver: high performance live broadcast streaming server based on
- the ffmpeg core encoders.
- 2) Documentation
- ----------------
- read doc/ffmpeg.txt and doc/ffserver.txt to learn the basic features.
- 3) Licensing:
- ------------
- * See the file COPYING. ffmpeg is licensed under the GNU General
- Public License.
- * Source code from third parties: The IDCT code is Copyright (C) 1991,
- 1992, Thomas G. Lane. The DCT code is Copyright (C) 1994-1996,
- Thomas G. Lane.
- * This code should be patent free since it is very simple. I took care
- to use the same video encoder core for all formats to show that they
- really ARE THE SAME except for the encoding huffman codes.
