+# Fluent ffmpeg-API for node.js
+This library abstracts the complex command-line usage of ffmpeg into a fluent, easy to use node.js module. In order to be able to use this module, make sure you have [ffmpeg](http://www.ffmpeg.org) installed on your system (including all necessary encoding libraries like libmp3lame or libx264)
+## Installation
+Via npm:
+`$ npm install fluent-ffmpeg`
+
+Or as a submodule:
+`$ git submodule add git://github.com/schaermu/node-fluent-ffmpeg.git`
+## Usage
+You find a lot of usage examples (including a real-time streaming example using [flowplayer](http://www.flowplayer.org) and [express](https://github.com/visionmedia/express)!) in the `examples` folder.
+### Simple conversion using preset
+This example loads up a predefined preset in the preset folder (currently, fluent-ffmpeg ships with presets for DIVX, Flashvideo and Podcast conversions)
+
+    var ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
+
+    var proc = new ffmpeg('/path/to/your_movie.avi')
+      .usingPreset('podcast')
+      .saveToFile('/path/to/your_target.m4v', function(retcode, error){
+        console.log('file has been converted succesfully');
+      });
+### Conversion using chainable API
+Using the chainable API, you are able to perform any operation using FFMPEG. the most common options are implemented using methods, for more advanced usages you can still use the `addOption(s)` method group.
+
+    var ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
+
+    var proc = new ffmpeg('/path/to/your_movie.avi')
+      .withVideoBitrate(1024)
+      .withVideoCodec('divx')
+      .withAspectRatio('16:9')
+      .withFps(24)
+      .withAudioBitrate('128k')
+      .withAudioCodec('libmp3lame')
+      .withAudioChannels(2)
+      .addOption('-vtag', 'DIVX')
+      .toFormat('avi')
+      .saveToFile('/path/to/your_target.avi', function(retcode, error){
+        console.log('file has been converted succesfully');
+      });
+### Creating thumbnails from a video file
+One pretty neat feature is the ability of fluent-ffmpeg to generate any amount of thumbnails from your movies. The screenshots are taken at automatically determined timemarks using the following formula: `(duration_in_sec * 0.9) / number_of_thumbnails`.
+
+    var ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
+
+    var proc = new ffmpeg('/path/to/your_movie.avi')
+      .withSize('150x100')
+      .takeScreenshots(5, '/path/to/thumbnail/folder', function(err) {
+        console.log('screenshots were saved')
+      });
+### Reading video metadata
+Using a seperate object, you are able to access various metadata of your video file.
+
+    var ffmpegmeta = require('fluent-ffmpeg').Metadata;
+
+    // make sure you set the correct path to your video file
+    ffmpegmeta.get('/path/to/your_movie.avi', function(metadata) {
+      console.log(require('util').inspect(metadata, false, null));
+    });
+## Creating a custom preset
+To create a custom preset, you have to create a new file inside the `lib/presets` folder. The filename is used as the preset's name ([presetname].js). In order to make the preset work, you have to export a `load` function using the CommonJS module specifications:
+
+    exports.load = function(ffmpeg) {
+      // your custom preset code
+    }
+
+The `ffmpeg` parameter is a full fluent-ffmpeg object, you can use all the chaining-goodness from here on. For a good example for the possibilities using presets, check out `lib/presets/podcast.js`.
+
+## Contributing
+Contributions in any form are highly encouraged and welcome! Be it new or improved presets, optimized streaming code or just some cleanup. So start forking!
