从https://ffbinaries.com/downloads 下载最新的4.1版本的Windows 64位FFmpeg，FFmpeg是一个快速的音频/视频转换工具，FFmpeg可以作为一个命令行程序单独使用。
通过执行以下命令将FFmpeg信息重定位到ffmpeg_help.txt文件中便于查看，其内容如下，FFmpeg使用方法为：ffmpeg.exe [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...
ffmpeg.exe --help > ffmpeg_help.txtHyper fast Audio and Video encoder
usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...
Getting help:
-h -- print basic options
-h long -- print more options
-h full -- print all options (including all format and codec specific options, very long)
-h type=name -- print all options for the named decoder/encoder/demuxer/muxer/filter/bsf
See man ffmpeg for detailed description of the options.

1. 在Windows上查看已连接的捕获设备(capture devices)如摄像头，执行以下命令，如果安装了DirectShow也可以将vfwcap替换为dshow：
ffmpeg.exe -y -f vfwcap -i list
ffmpeg.exe -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy在Windows上将从capture device上获取的视频流数据保存成mp4文件，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -y -f vfwcap -r 25 -i 0 out.mp42. 在Linux上，当插上usb摄像头(/dev/video0)时，查看可用设备的可用格式(包括支持的像素格式、视频格式、帧大小)，执行：
./ffmpeg -f v4l2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0在Linux上将从/dev/video0上获取的视频流数据保存成mkv文件，执行：
./ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 640x480 -input_format mjpeg -i /dev/video0 output.mkv3. 在不同的媒体文件之间转换，如将1.mkv转换为1.mp4并设置其大小为1920x1080，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -i 1.mkv -s 1920x1080 1.mp44. 从视频文件中提取图像，如从视频文件tree.avi中提取图像并保存成png，图像名为image-001.png, image-002.png等，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -i tree.avi -r 1 -f image2 image-%3d.png5. 压缩视频文件，如减少视频比特率(video bit rate)，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -i tree.avi -b:v 100k tree2.avi6. 剪切视频文件，如开始剪切的时间点为10秒处(00:00:10)，剪切时间长度为5秒，则执行：
ffmpeg.exe -i tree.avi -ss 00:00:10 -t 5 tree.mp47. 将rtsp视频流保存成视频文件，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -i rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4://BigBuckBunny_115k.mov -vcodec copy out.mp48. 在windows上获取视频设备名，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy9. 在windows上获取指定视频设备支持的编解码格式及视频size，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -f dshow -list_options true -i video="Integrated Webcam"10. 在windows上通过dshow生成mjpeg数据，执行：
ffmpeg.exe -f dshow -vcodec mjpeg -s 640x480 -framerate 30 -i video="Integrated Webcam" outfile.mpg
