+@chapter Muxers
+@c man begin MUXERS
+
+Muxers are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow writing
+multimedia streams to a particular type of file.
+
+When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported muxers
+are enabled by default. You can list all available muxers using the
+configure option @code{--list-muxers}.
+
+You can disable all the muxers with the configure option
+@code{--disable-muxers} and selectively enable / disable single muxers
+with the options @code{--enable-muxer=@var{MUXER}} /
+@code{--disable-muxer=@var{MUXER}}.
+
+The option @code{-formats} of the ff* tools will display the list of
+enabled muxers.
+
+A description of some of the currently available muxers follows.
