[Motmot] .fmf conversion information

[John Schneider]

Well, playfmf does it perfectly! Is there any way to operate it from
command line to make it easier to do a batch split? We're trying to
split rather large files into nice and manageable ones and if there is
a command line version, it would make it alot easier.
This was the reason I was asking about having ffmpeg work with .fmf as
I've had success using that to split up movies into smaller segments.

PS Is 'crop_fmf.m' available? I can't find it on her repository.
