@section What is FFM, FFM2
FFM and FFM2 are formats used by ffserver, they allow storing a wide varity of
video and audio streams, encoding options and can store a moving time segment
of a infinite movie or a whole movie.
FFM, is version specific, there is limited compatibility of FFM files
generated by one version of ffmpeg/ffserver and another version of
ffmpeg/ffserver. It may work but its not guranteed to work.
FFM2 is extensible while maintaining compatibility and should work between
differing versions of tools. FFM2 is the default.
