Streaming media with ffserver

@@ -84 +84 @@
 It would be very wise to start off reading the ffserver's [http://ffmpeg.org/sample.html sample configuration file]. It is self-documented with a lot of comments and it is a good starting point for beginners, since it contains various examples too. It would be a waste of time and space to write about it again here. Also, [http://ffmpeg.org/ffserver.html ffserver's documentation page] might help too. In general, the configuration file is consisted of global directives, list of feed elements, list of stream elements and a specification of a special status stream element, which is used to provide a way for you to view the status of all your running streams.
