    This is an example illustrating the use of the ffmpeg wrappers, in this case the muxing API.

    This is a pretty simple example. It loads a video file, extracts images and audio frames (if present) and
    re-encodes them into a video file.
    
    Please see the following examples on how to decode, demux, and get information on your installation of ffmpeg:
        - ffmpeg_info_ex.cpp
        - ffmpeg_video_decoding_ex.cpp
        - ffmpeg_video_decoding2_ex.cpp
