1) API
------
* libavcodec is the library containing the codecs (both encoding and
decoding). See libavcodec/apiexample.c to see how to use it.
* libav is the library containing the file formats handling (mux and
demux code for several formats). (no example yet, the API is likely
to evolve).
2) Coding Rules
---------------
ffmpeg is programmed in ANSI C language. GCC extension are
tolerated. TAB size is 4. The identation is the one specified by
'indent -i4 -kr'.
Main priority in ffmpeg is simplicity and small code size (=less
bugs).
