I'm not sure what to make of that.
No. A demuxer decomposes an input (file, stream, container, or in this case a pile of files) into one or several streams. A muxer does the opposite. > Maybe `image2` should actually be described as a "muxer"? Not in the case you are implying. OTOH, there is also an "image2" muxer, which creates a pile of images from a stream. > section/, which examples illustrating the use of the `-f image2` option, > is it really correct that the examples do not include `-f image2`? Honestly, when debugging stuff and in doubt, just try it first. ;-) Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
