+@section segment
+
+Basic stream segmenter.
+
+The segmenter muxer outputs streams to a number of separate files of nearly
+fixed duration. Output filename pattern can be set in a fashion similar to
+@ref{image2}.
+
+Every segment starts with a video keyframe, if a video stream is present.
+The segment muxer works best with a single constant frame rate video.
+
+Optionally it can generate a flat list of the created segments, one segment
+per line.

+@table @option
+@item segment_format @var{format}
+Override the inner container format, by default it is guessed by the filename
+extension.
+@item segment_time @var{t}
+Set segment duration to @var{t} seconds.
+@item segment_list @var{name}
+Generate also a listfile named @var{name}.
+@item segment_list_size @var{size}
+Overwrite the listfile once it reaches @var{size} entries.
