 Output devices are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow to write

 multimedia data to an output device attached to your system.
 
a6be21d3
 When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported output devices
2f6bc4e7
 are enabled by default. You can list all available ones using the
 configure option "--list-outdevs".

 You can disable all the output devices using the configure option
 "--disable-outdevs", and selectively enable an output device using the
 option "--enable-outdev=@var{OUTDEV}", or you can disable a particular
 input device using the option "--disable-outdev=@var{OUTDEV}".
 
 The option "-formats" of the ff* tools will display the list of
 enabled output devices (amongst the muxers).
