+ at 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.
