+@section movie
+
+Read a video stream from a movie container.
+
+It accepts the syntax: @var{movie_name}[:@var{options}] where
+@var{movie_name} is the name of the resource to read (not necessarily
+a file but also a device or a stream accessed through some protocol),
+and @var{options} is an optional sequence of @var{key}=@var{value}
+pairs, separated by ":".
+
+The description of the accepted options follows.
+
+@table @option
+
+@item format_name, f
+Specifies the format assumed for the movie to read, and can be either
+the name of a container or an input device. If not specified the
+format is guessed from @var{movie_name} or by probing.
+
+@item seek_point, sp
+Specifies the seek point in seconds, the frames will be output
+starting from this seek point, the parameter is evaluated with
+@code{av_strtod} so the numerical value may be suffixed by an IS
+postfix. Default value is "0".
+
+@item stream_index, si
+Specifies the index of the video stream to read. If the value is -1,
+the best suited video stream will be automatically selected. Default
+value is "-1".
+
+@end table
+
+This filter allows to overlay a second video on top of main input of
+a filtergraph as shown in this graph:
+@example
+input -----------> deltapts0 --> overlay --> output
+                                    ^
+                                    |
+movie --> scale--> deltapts1 -------+
+@end example
+
+Some examples follow:
+@example
+# skip 3.2 seconds from the start of the avi file in.avi, and overlay it
+# on top of the input labelled as "in".
+movie=in.avi:seek_point=3.2, scale=180:-1, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [movie];
+[in] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS, [movie] overlay=16:16 [out]
+
+# read from a video4linux2 device, and overlay it on top of the input
+# labelled as "in"
+movie=/dev/video0:f=video4linux2, scale=180:-1, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [movie];
+[in] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS, [movie] overlay=16:16 [out]

 Null video source, never return images. It is mainly useful as a
