1 Introduction

ffmpeg is a great piece of software. It is a cross platform utility to modify audio and video. It can do lot of wonderful things like editing videos, encoding them and live streaming as well. In this post I want to share whatever little I know and have been exploring.

Installing it is easy. Just check your package manager but on Arch linux you can do sudo pacman -S ffmpeg and it should install it.
