Examples:
* You can input from YUV files:
ffmpeg -i /tmp/test%d.Y /tmp/out.mpg
If will use the files:
/tmp/test0.Y, /tmp/test0.U, /tmp/test0.V,
/tmp/test1.Y, /tmp/test1.U, /tmp/test1.V, etc...
It will use the files:
/tmp/test0.Y, /tmp/test0.U, /tmp/test0.V,
/tmp/test1.Y, /tmp/test1.U, /tmp/test1.V, etc...
The Y files use twice the resolution of the U and V files. They are
raw files, without header. They can be generated by all decent video
decoders. You must specify the size of the image with the '-s' option
if ffmpeg cannot guess it.
* You can input from a RAW YUV420P file:
ffmpeg -i /tmp/test.yuv /tmp/out.avi
The RAW YUV420P is a file containing RAW YUV planar, for each frame first
come the Y plane followed by U and V planes, which are half vertical and
horizontal resolution.
The Y files use twice the resolution of the U and V files. They are
raw files, without header. They can be generated by all decent video

* You can output to a RAW YUV420P file:
ffmpeg -i mydivx.avi -o hugefile.yuv
* You can set several input files and output files:
ffmpeg -i /tmp/a.wav -s 640x480 -i /tmp/a.yuv /tmp/a.mpg

file:index' specify which input stream is used for each output
stream, in the order of the definition of output streams.
NOTE: to see the supported input formats, use 'ffmpeg -formats'.
* You can transcode decrypted VOBs
ffmpeg -i snatch_1.vob -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800 -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec
mp3 -ab 128 snatch.avi
This is a typicall DVD ripper example, input from a VOB file, output to
an AVI file with MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio, note that in this command we
use B frames so the MPEG-4 stream is DivX5 compatible, GOP size is 300
that means an INTRA frame every 10 seconds for 29.97 fps input video.
Also the audio stream is MP3 encoded so you need LAME support which is
enabled using '--enable-mp3lame' when configuring.
The mapping is particullary usefull for DVD transcoding to get the desired
audio language.
NOTE: to see the supported input formats, use 'ffmpeg -formats'.
