a positive offset means that the corresponding streams are delayed by
the time duration specified in @var{offset}.
+@item -itsscale @var{scale} (@emph{input,per-stream})
+Rescale input timestamps. @var{scale} should be a floating point number.

@item -timestamp @var{date} (@emph{output})
Set the recording timestamp in the container.

stored at container level, but not the aspect ratio stored in encoded
frames, if it exists.

@item -vcodec @var{codec} (@emph{output})
default to the number of input audio channels. For input streams
this option only makes sense for audio grabbing devices and raw demuxers
and is mapped to the corresponding demuxer options.

@item -sbsf @var{bitstream_filter}
Deprecated, see -bsf
Show benchmarking information during the encode.
Shows real, system and user time used in various steps (audio/video encode/decode).
@item -timelimit @var{duration} (@emph{global})
-Exit after ffmpeg has been running for @var{duration} seconds.
+Exit after ffmpeg has been running for @var{duration} seconds in CPU user time.
@item -dump (@emph{global})
Dump each input packet to stderr.
@item -hex (@emph{global})
By default @command{ffmpeg} attempts to read the input(s) as fast as possible.
This option will slow down the reading of the input(s) to the native frame rate
of the input(s). It is useful for real-time output (e.g. live streaming).
-@item -loop_output @var{number_of_times}
-Repeatedly loop output for formats that support looping such as animated GIF
-(0 will loop the output infinitely).
-This option is deprecated, use -loop.
@item -vsync @var{parameter}
Video sync method.
For compatibility reasons old values can be specified as numbers.
Finish encoding when the shortest input stream ends.
@item -dts_delta_threshold
Timestamp discontinuity delta threshold.
-@item -muxdelay @var{seconds} (@emph{input})
+@item -dts_error_threshold @var{seconds}
+Timestamp error delta threshold. This threshold use to discard crazy/damaged
+timestamps and the default is 30 hours which is arbitrarily picked and quite
+conservative.
+@item -muxdelay @var{seconds} (@emph{output})
Set the maximum demux-decode delay.
-@item -muxpreload @var{seconds} (@emph{input})
+@item -muxpreload @var{seconds} (@emph{output})
Set the initial demux-decode delay.
@item -streamid @var{output-stream-index}:@var{new-value} (@emph{output})
Assign a new stream-id value to an output stream. This option should be
rtp stream. (Requires at least one of the output formats to be rtp).
@item -discard (@emph{input})
-Allows discarding specific streams or frames of streams at the demuxer.
-Not all demuxers support this.
+Allows discarding specific streams or frames from streams.
+Any input stream can be fully discarded, using value @code{all} whereas
+selective discarding of frames from a stream occurs at the demuxer
+and is not supported by all demuxers.
