-@chapter Demuxers
-@c man begin DEMUXERS
-
-Demuxers are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow to read the
-multimedia streams from a particular type of file.
-
-When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported demuxers
-are enabled by default. You can list all available ones using the
-configure option @code{--list-demuxers}.
-
-You can disable all the demuxers using the configure option
-@code{--disable-demuxers}, and selectively enable a single demuxer with
-the option @code{--enable-demuxer=@var{DEMUXER}}, or disable it
-with the option @code{--disable-demuxer=@var{DEMUXER}}.
-
-The option @code{-formats} of the ff* tools will display the list of
-enabled demuxers.
-
-The description of some of the currently available demuxers follows.
-
-@section applehttp
-
-Apple HTTP Live Streaming demuxer.
-
-This demuxer presents all AVStreams from all variant streams.
-The id field is set to the bitrate variant index number. By setting
-the discard flags on AVStreams (by pressing 'a' or 'v' in ffplay),
-the caller can decide which variant streams to actually receive.
-The total bitrate of the variant that the stream belongs to is
-available in a metadata key named "variant_bitrate".
-
-@anchor{concat}
-@section concat
-
-Virtual concatenation script demuxer.
-
-This demuxer reads a list of files and other directives from a text file and
-demuxes them one after the other, as if all their packet had been muxed
-together.
-
-The timestamps in the files are adjusted so that the first file starts at 0
-and each next file starts where the previous one finishes. Note that it is
-done globally and may cause gaps if all streams do not have exactly the same
-length.
-
-All files must have the same streams (same codecs, same time base, etc.).
-
-The duration of each file is used to adjust the timestamps of the next file:
-if the duration is incorrect (because it was computed using the bit-rate or
-because the file is truncated, for example), it can cause artifacts. The
-@code{duration} directive can be used to override the duration stored in
-each file.
-
-@subsection Syntax
-
-The script is a text file in extended-ASCII, with one directive per line.
-Empty lines, leading spaces and lines starting with '#' are ignored. The
-following directive is recognized:
-
-@table @option
-
-@item @code{file @var{path}}
-Path to a file to read; special characters and spaces must be escaped with
-backslash or single quotes.
-
-All subsequent directives apply to that file.
-
-@item @code{ffconcat version 1.0}
-Identify the script type and version. It also sets the @option{safe} option
-to 1 if it was to its default -1.
-
-To make FFmpeg recognize the format automatically, this directive must
-appears exactly as is (no extra space or byte-order-mark) on the very first
-line of the script.
-
-@item @code{duration @var{dur}}
-Duration of the file. This information can be specified from the file;
-specifying it here may be more efficient or help if the information from the
-file is not available or accurate.
-
-If the duration is set for all files, then it is possible to seek in the
-whole concatenated video.
-
-@end table
-
-@subsection Options
-
-This demuxer accepts the following option:
-
-@table @option
-
-@item safe
-If set to 1, reject unsafe file paths. A file path is considered safe if it
-does not contain a protocol specification and is relative and all components
-only contain characters from the portable character set (letters, digits,
-period, underscore and hyphen) and have no period at the beginning of a
-component.
-
-If set to 0, any file name is accepted.
-
-The default is -1, it is equivalent to 1 if the format was automatically
-probed and 0 otherwise.
-
-@end table
-
-@section image2
-
-Image file demuxer.
-
-This demuxer reads from a list of image files specified by a pattern.
-The syntax and meaning of the pattern is specified by the
-option @var{pattern_type}.
-
-The pattern may contain a suffix which is used to automatically
-determine the format of the images contained in the files.
-
-The size, the pixel format, and the format of each image must be the
-same for all the files in the sequence.
-
-This demuxer accepts the following options:
-@table @option
-@item framerate
-Set the framerate for the video stream. It defaults to 25.
-@item loop
-If set to 1, loop over the input. Default value is 0.
-@item pattern_type
-Select the pattern type used to interpret the provided filename.
-
-@var{pattern_type} accepts one of the following values.
-@table @option
-@item sequence
-Select a sequence pattern type, used to specify a sequence of files
-indexed by sequential numbers.
-
-A sequence pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", which
-specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential
-number in each filename matched by the pattern. If the form
-"%d0@var{N}d" is used, the string representing the number in each
-filename is 0-padded and @var{N} is the total number of 0-padded
-digits representing the number. The literal character '%' can be
-specified in the pattern with the string "%%".
-
-If the sequence pattern contains "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", the first filename of
-the file list specified by the pattern must contain a number
-inclusively contained between @var{start_number} and
-@var{start_number}+@var{start_number_range}-1, and all the following
-numbers must be sequential.
-
-For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will match a sequence of
-filenames of the form @file{img-001.bmp}, @file{img-002.bmp}, ...,
-@file{img-010.bmp}, etc.; the pattern "i%%m%%g-%d.jpg" will match a
-sequence of filenames of the form @file{i%m%g-1.jpg},
-@file{i%m%g-2.jpg}, ..., @file{i%m%g-10.jpg}, etc.
-
-Note that the pattern must not necessarily contain "%d" or
-"%0@var{N}d", for example to convert a single image file
-@file{img.jpeg} you can employ the command:
-@example
-ffmpeg -i img.jpeg img.png
-@end example
-
-@item glob
-Select a glob wildcard pattern type.
-
-The pattern is interpreted like a @code{glob()} pattern. This is only
-selectable if libavformat was compiled with globbing support.
-
-@item glob_sequence @emph{(deprecated, will be removed)}
-Select a mixed glob wildcard/sequence pattern.
-
-If your version of libavformat was compiled with globbing support, and
-the provided pattern contains at least one glob meta character among
-@code{%*?[]@{@}} that is preceded by an unescaped "%", the pattern is
-interpreted like a @code{glob()} pattern, otherwise it is interpreted
-like a sequence pattern.
-
-All glob special characters @code{%*?[]@{@}} must be prefixed
-with "%". To escape a literal "%" you shall use "%%".
-
-For example the pattern @code{foo-%*.jpeg} will match all the
-filenames prefixed by "foo-" and terminating with ".jpeg", and
-@code{foo-%?%?%?.jpeg} will match all the filenames prefixed with
-"foo-", followed by a sequence of three characters, and terminating
-with ".jpeg".
-
-This pattern type is deprecated in favor of @var{glob} and
-@var{sequence}.
-@end table
-
-Default value is @var{glob_sequence}.
-@item pixel_format
-Set the pixel format of the images to read. If not specified the pixel
-format is guessed from the first image file in the sequence.
-@item start_number
-Set the index of the file matched by the image file pattern to start
-to read from. Default value is 0.
-@item start_number_range
-Set the index interval range to check when looking for the first image
-file in the sequence, starting from @var{start_number}. Default value
-is 5.
-@item video_size
-Set the video size of the images to read. If not specified the video
-size is guessed from the first image file in the sequence.
-@end table
-
-@subsection Examples
-
-@itemize
-@item
-Use @command{ffmpeg} for creating a video from the images in the file
-sequence @file{img-001.jpeg}, @file{img-002.jpeg}, ..., assuming an
-input frame rate of 10 frames per second:
-@example
-ffmpeg -i 'img-%03d.jpeg' -r 10 out.mkv
-@end example
-
-@item
-As above, but start by reading from a file with index 100 in the sequence:
-@example
-ffmpeg -start_number 100 -i 'img-%03d.jpeg' -r 10 out.mkv
-@end example
-
-@item
-Read images matching the "*.png" glob pattern , that is all the files
-terminating with the ".png" suffix:
-@example
-ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i "*.png" -r 10 out.mkv
-@end example
-@end itemize
-
-@section rawvideo
-
-Raw video demuxer.
-
-This demuxer allows to read raw video data. Since there is no header
-specifying the assumed video parameters, the user must specify them
-in order to be able to decode the data correctly.
-
-This demuxer accepts the following options:
-@table @option
-
-@item framerate
-Set input video frame rate. Default value is 25.
-
-@item pixel_format
-Set the input video pixel format. Default value is @code{yuv420p}.
-
-@item video_size
-Set the input video size. This value must be specified explicitly.
-@end table
-
-For example to read a rawvideo file @file{input.raw} with
-@command{ffplay}, assuming a pixel format of @code{rgb24}, a video
-size of @code{320x240}, and a frame rate of 10 images per second, use
-the command:
-@example
-ffplay -f rawvideo -pixel_format rgb24 -video_size 320x240 -framerate 10 input.raw
-@end example
-
-@section sbg
-
-SBaGen script demuxer.
-
-This demuxer reads the script language used by SBaGen
-@url{http://uazu.net/sbagen/} to generate binaural beats sessions. A SBG
-script looks like that:
-@example
--SE
-a: 300-2.5/3 440+4.5/0
-b: 300-2.5/0 440+4.5/3
-off: -
-NOW == a
-+0:07:00 == b
-+0:14:00 == a
-+0:21:00 == b
-+0:30:00 off
-@end example
-
-A SBG script can mix absolute and relative timestamps. If the script uses
-either only absolute timestamps (including the script start time) or only
-relative ones, then its layout is fixed, and the conversion is
-straightforward. On the other hand, if the script mixes both kind of
-timestamps, then the @var{NOW} reference for relative timestamps will be
-taken from the current time of day at the time the script is read, and the
-script layout will be frozen according to that reference. That means that if
-the script is directly played, the actual times will match the absolute
-timestamps up to the sound controller's clock accuracy, but if the user
-somehow pauses the playback or seeks, all times will be shifted accordingly.
-
-@section tedcaptions
-
-JSON captions used for @url{http://www.ted.com/, TED Talks}.
-
-TED does not provide links to the captions, but they can be guessed from the
-page. The file @file{tools/bookmarklets.html} from the FFmpeg source tree
-contains a bookmarklet to expose them.
-
-This demuxer accepts the following option:
-@table @option
-@item start_time
-Set the start time of the TED talk, in milliseconds. The default is 15000
-(15s). It is used to sync the captions with the downloadable videos, because
-they include a 15s intro.
-@end table
-
-Example: convert the captions to a format most players understand:
-@example
-ffmpeg -i http://www.ted.com/talks/subtitles/id/1/lang/en talk1-en.srt
-@end example
-
-@c man end DEMUXERS
