I am trying to find documentation to use the FFmpeg C API. It seems that only command line documentation is available.
Is there any good documentation/tutorials/links available?
I've been keeping the Dranger ffmpeg tutorials up to date here: https://github.com/mpenkov/ffmpeg-tutorial
I've tried to keep the code changes minimal while fixing bugs and rewriting deprecated parts.
Here is the best one I have found so far. It deals with a lot of the quirks of the API and shows you how to build a working video player using SDL and libavformat/libavcodec.

I created this wiki page so that it can try and keep updated:
Using libav*
http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/ is great, but the source code is little dated. For updated code of the tutorial, please take a look here: https://github.com/phamquy/FFmpeg-tutorial-samples
If you're interested in writing your own ffmpeg format or codec, take a look here:
