doc/ffmpeg: slightly rework introductory examples

In particular, add a sentence to introduce the example, and add a
simpler starting example with no options.

Also use different format for input.avi and output.mp4, to convey
that the conversion also works on the container format.

output files. Also do not mix options which belong to different files. All
options apply ONLY to the next input or output file and are reset between files.
Some simple examples follow.

To set the video bitrate of the output file to 64 kbit/s:
Convert an input media file to a different format, by re-encoding media streams:
@example
ffmpeg -i input.avi -b:v 64k -bufsize 64k output.avi
ffmpeg -i input.avi output.mp4
@end example
@item
To force the frame rate of the output file to 24 fps:
Set the video bitrate of the output file to 64 kbit/s:
@example
ffmpeg -i input.avi -r 24 output.avi
ffmpeg -i input.avi -b:v 64k -bufsize 64k output.mp4
@end example

To force the frame rate of the input file (valid for raw formats only)
to 1 fps and the frame rate of the output file to 24 fps:
Force the frame rate of the output file to 24 fps:
@example
ffmpeg -r 1 -i input.m2v -r 24 output.avi
ffmpeg -i input.avi -r 24 output.mp4
@end example
