@example
file:@var{filename}
@end example
where @var{filename} is the path of the file to read.
An URL that does not have a protocol prefix will be assumed to be a
file URL. Depending on the build, an URL that looks like a Windows
path with the drive letter at the beginning will also be assumed to be
a file URL (usually not the case in builds for unix-like systems).

use the command:
@example
ffmpeg -i file:input.mpeg output.mpeg
@end example
