FFmpeg is a complex library, so there is not a short simple answer to 
your question.

Download the source code and look at the files in the doc/examples/ 
subdirectory. Those examples are not perfect, but should give you an 
idea how the different parts of ffmpeg library work together.

It's a little old, but this tutorial might help your understanding too:
