	- OSS compatible sound card


INSTALLATION/SETUP
==================

	See file "INSTALL" for installation and setup info.

FILE FORMATS
============

	The output format of the encoded files are either
		- MPEG-1 compliant video bitstreams.
		- MPEG-4 simple profile compliant video bitstreams. (OpenDivX)
	Any MPEG-1 player should be able to read output files.
	The decore program from OpenDivX project (http://www.projectmayo.com/projects/subproject.php?projectID=1&subprojectID=1) should be able to read MPEG-4 output files. Other MPEG-4 video only players are known to work.

USAGE
=====

	Simple example:
		fame video.mpg

	If you want to send the stream on the network instead, you can give the ip adress of the receiver and the port.

		fame udp://127.0.0.1:9999


	You can also encode audio in mp3 file format:
		fame video.mpg audio.mp3

	Various options are available for configuring the encoding with
		fame -h
