<h3>Streaming vs. Saving</h3>
<p>FFplay allows you to stream created video and FFmpeg allows you to save video.</p>
<p>The following command creates and saves a 10-second video of SMPTE bars:</p>
<code>ffmpeg -f lavfi -i smptebars=size=640x480 -t 5 output_file</code>
<p>This command plays and streams SMPTE bars but does not save them on the computer:</p>
<code>ffplay -f lavfi smptebars=size=640x480</code>
<p>The main difference is small but significant: the <code>-i</code> flag is required for FFmpeg but not required for FFplay. Additionally, the FFmpeg script needs to have <code>-t 5</code> and <code>output.mkv</code> added to specify the length of time to record and the place to save the video.</p>
