@code{-i} option, and writes to an arbitrary number of output "files", which are
specified by a plain output filename. Anything found on the command line which
cannot be interpreted as an option is considered to be an output filename.
-Each input or output file can in principle contain any number of streams of

-types of streams can be limited by the container format. Selecting, which
