+Finds the FFmpeg library.
+
+Result Variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This will define the following variables:
+
+``FFMPEG_FOUND``
+	True if the system has found the required FFmpeg components.
+
+``FFMPEG_INCLUDE_DIRS``
+	The include directories of the required FFmpeg components.
+
+``FFMPEG_LIBRARIES``
+	The libraries of the required FFmpeg components.
+
+
+Cache Variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For each FFmpeg component:
+	avcodec,
+	avformat,
+	avutil,
+	avfilter,
+	avdevice,
+	swresample,
+	swscale
+
+The following cache variables may also be set:
+
+``FFMPEG_<component>_INCLUDE_DIR``
+	The include directory for the FFmpeg component.
+
+``FFMPEG_<component>_LIBRARY``
+	The library for the FFmpeg component.
