FFmpeg

IMPORTANT NOTES
===============

To make ffplay generic & altivec versions, run "Unpack" from the command line.

ffplay performs best when using the -nostats option.

Music modules must end with the correct suffix to be recognized (.med/.mod
etc).

If you use the subtitles filter, the first time you do this it will generate a
cache of your TrueType fonts. This may take a while.

ffplay: If using this within an emulator, you may need to set the
SDL_RENDER_DRIVER environment variable to "software" or use PatchCompositeTags.

Thanks to Kevin "ktadd" Taddeucci for testing this version of ffmpeg.

------------------

ffmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter that can also grab from a live
audio/video source. It can also convert between arbitrary sample rates and
resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter.

The command line interface is designed to be intuitive, in the sense that ffmpeg
tries to figure out all parameters that can possibly be derived automatically.
You usually only have to specify the target bitrate you want.
