[FFmpeg-user] What video formats to support?

[Dotan Cohen]

A user has a collection of video files from various sources. He need
to know exactly which video formats he has in use so that he can buy a
compatible media player such as this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/H-264-RM-RMVB-MKV-FLV-HDD-TV-MEDIA-PLAYER-VGA-HDMI-720P-/390317355636?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_CDPlayerSeparates&hash=item5ae0ba3274

Can ffmpeg tell use which container formats and codecs are in use on a
particular file? I went through the fine manpage but saw no mention of
it. Googling finds me nothing relevant either.

Thanks!
