Those examples lack a `-f image2` option. I would expect that option to be there; after all, isn't the image2 format exactly what this section is trying to explain?

FFmpeg probes the input to determine its format. Adding the `-f` option for an input forces the use of that demuxer e.g.

with a MKV renamed to MP4, running

    ffmpeg -i in.mp4

will still result in FFmpeg recognizing it as a Matroska file.

but

    ffmpeg -f mp4 -i in.mp4

will force the MP4 demuxer, and FFmpeg will throw an error.
