I'm interested in ffmpeg and I think I've got the basics down. How can
I learn more about the options you pass to it above (like +loop -coder
-refs etc)? They're not in the man page and there's nothing about them
in /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg. Are these options being passed directly to
the x264 encoder?
Thanks - Ben
