 PHP FFMpeg Recipes
 ==================
 
-FFMpeg recipes
---------------
+Initializing FFMpeg
+-------------------
 
-create HTML5 videos
+In the examples  we will show you, we assume we work in an environnment where
+FFMpeg has been initialized to ``$ffmpeg`` var ; there are two ways to
+initialize the environment :
+
+Autoloading FFMpeg
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The easiest way to initialize ``FMpeg`` it is to call the loader ; this will
+look in your PATH environment variable to find ffmpeg/avconv binary :
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    use Monolog\Logger;
+    use Monolog\Handler\NullHandler;
+    use FFMpeg\FFMpeg;
+
+    // Create a logger
+    $logger = new Logger('MyLogger');
+    $logger->pushHandler(new NullHandler());
+
+    // You have to pass a Monolog logger
+    // This logger provides some usefull infos about what's happening
+    $ffmpeg = FFMpeg::load($logger);
+
+.. note:: FFMpeg and FFProbe both requires a logger with gives ffedback about
+    what's happening. By passing a NullHandler to the logger, you disable the
+    logging system.
+
+
+Use custom binary
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can also initialize with a custom path to the binary :
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    $ffmpeg = new FFMpeg::load('/usr/local/src/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg', $logger);
+
+
+Defining formats
+----------------
+
+Encode a video
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To encode a video, you have to define the target format. A format is an object
+that implements ``FFMpeg\Format\Video``
+
+The following example initialize a Ogg format and encodes a `Video.mpeg` to a
+target file `file.ogv` :
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    use FFMpeg\Format\Video\Ogg;
+
+    $oggFormat = new Ogg();
+
+    $ffmpeg->open('Video.mpeg')
+        ->encode($oggFormat, 'file.ogv')
+        ->close();
+
+Create HTML5 videos
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+PHP-FFMpeg provides three video format out of the box : HTML5 video formats.
+These formats are available as these objects :
+
+ - ``FFMpeg\Format\Video\WebM``
+ - ``FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264``
+ - ``FFMpeg\Format\Video\Ogg``
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    use FFMpeg\Format\Video;
+
+    $webMFormat = new Video\WebM();
+    $webMFormat->setDimensions(320, 240)
+        ->setFrameRate(15)
+        ->setGopSize(25);
+    $x264Format = new Video\X264();
+    $x264Format->setDimensions(320, 240)
+        ->setFrameRate(15)
+        ->setGopSize(25);
+
+    $oggFormat = new Video\Ogg();
+    $oggFormat->setDimensions(320, 240)
+        ->setFrameRate(15)
+        ->setGopSize(25);
+
+    $ffmpeg->open('Video.mpeg')
+        ->encode($webMFormat, 'file.webm')
+        ->encode($x264Format, 'file.mp4')
+        ->encode($oggFormat, 'file.ogv')
+        ->close();
+
+.. note: Use PHP-MP4Box to make it compatible with pseudo stream !
+
+Create your own media type
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
