/**
 * @mainpage
 *
 * @section ffmpeg_intro Introduction
 *
 * This document describes the usage of the different libraries
 * provided by FFmpeg.
 *
 * @li @ref libavc "libavcodec" encoding/decoding library
 * @li @ref lavfi "libavfilter" graph-based frame editing library
 * @li @ref libavf "libavformat" I/O and muxing/demuxing library
 * @li @ref lavd "libavdevice" special devices muxing/demuxing library
 * @li @ref lavu "libavutil" common utility library
 * @li @ref lswr "libswresample" audio resampling, format conversion and mixing
 * @li @ref lpp  "libpostproc" post processing library
 * @li @ref libsws "libswscale" color conversion and scaling library
 *
 * @section ffmpeg_versioning Versioning and compatibility
 *
 * Each of the FFmpeg libraries contains a version.h header, which defines a
 * major, minor and micro version number with the
 * <em>LIBRARYNAME_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}</em> macros. The major version
 * number is incremented with backward incompatible changes - e.g. removing
 * parts of the public API, reordering public struct members, etc. The minor
 * version number is incremented for backward compatible API changes or major
 * new features - e.g. adding a new public function or a new decoder. The micro
 * version number is incremented for smaller changes that a calling program
 * might still want to check for - e.g. changing behavior in a previously
 * unspecified situation.
 *
 * FFmpeg guarantees backward API and ABI compatibility for each library as long
 * as its major version number is unchanged. This means that no public symbols
 * will be removed or renamed. Types and names of the public struct members and
 * values of public macros and enums will remain the same (unless they were
 * explicitly declared as not part of the public API). Documented behavior will
 * not change.
 *
 * In other words, any correct program that works with a given FFmpeg snapshot
 * should work just as well without any changes with any later snapshot with the
 * same major versions. This applies to both rebuilding the program against new
 * FFmpeg versions or to replacing the dynamic FFmpeg libraries that a program
 * links against.
 *
 * However, new public symbols may be added and new members may be appended to
 * public structs whose size is not part of public ABI (most public structs in
 * FFmpeg). New macros and enum values may be added. Behavior in undocumented
 * situations may change slightly (and be documented). All those are accompanied
 * by an entry in doc/APIchanges and incrementing either the minor or micro
 * version number.

 * the specific header containing that feature. If you are only using
 * media-related components, you could simply include libavutil/avutil.h, which
 * brings in most of the "core" components.
