 FFmpeg needs to be built with @code{--enable-libquvi} for this demuxer to be
 enabled.
 
+ at section gif
+
+Animated GIF demuxer.
+
+It accepts the following options:
+
+ at table @option
+ at item min_delay
+Set the minimum valid delay between frames in hundredths of seconds.
+Range is 0 to 6000. Default value is 2.
+
+ at item default_delay
+Set the default delay between frames in hundredths of seconds.
+Range is 0 to 6000. Default value is 10.
+
+ at item ignore_loop
+GIF files can be set to loop infinitely or up to a certain number of
+times.
+
+If @option{ignore_loop} is set to 1, then the loop setting from the
+input will be ignored and looping will not occur.
+
+If set to 0, then looping will occur and will cycle the number of times
+the GIF dictates.
+
+This option prevents a GIF stream from looping forever.
+
+Default value is 1.
+ at end table
+
+For example, with the overlay filter, place an infinitely looping GIF
+over another video:
+ at example
+ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ignore_loop 0 -i input.gif -filter_complex overlay=shortest=1 out.mkv
+ at end example
+
+Note that in the above example the shortest option for overlay filter is
+used to end the output video at the length of the shortest input file,
+which in this case is @file{input.mp4} as the GIF loops infinitely.
