How do VLC and ffmpeg work together?

Viewed 43816

I compiled VLC from the source code and it works well. When I do ". / Vlc" vlc runs. I also compiled ffmpeg from source and it works well too. When I do "ffmpeg-i-f toto.flv mp3-vn-acodec copy new_toto.mp3", the file named "new_toto.mp3" is generated. What I cannot understand is how VLC and ffmpeg work together? What part of VLC code uses ffmpeg code?

Is there a ffmpeg command to play (read) a video?
