[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Better modularization and extension of docs - 2

[Stefano Sabatini]

Hi,

relevant thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/108669

I find the monolithic FFmpeg pages more and more clumsy, e.g. when I
want to look for information related to a filter. In that case a:
man ffmpeg-filters

would be much better, and would avoid redundancy in the ff* tool
pages.

Possible sections would be:

tools: ffmpeg/ffplay/ffprobe/ffserver
protocols
muxers
demuxers
indevs
outdevs
decoders
encoders
bitstream-filters/bsfs
filters

It may made sense to merge muxers/demuxers => formats,
indevs/outdevs => devices, decoders/encoders => codecs.

What do you think?
