@table @option
@item @var{default} use the normal low-overhead seeking aids.
@item @var{none} do not use the syncpoints at all, reducing the overhead but making the stream non-seekable;
+ Use of this option is not recommanded, as the resulting files are very damage
+ sensitive and seeking is not possible. Also in general the overhead from
+ syncpoints is negligible. Note, -@code{write_index} 0 can be used to disable
+ all growing data tables, allowing to mux endless streams with limited memory
+ and wihout these disadvantages.
@item @var{timestamped} extend the syncpoint with a wallclock field.
@end table
The @var{none} and @var{timestamped} flags are experimental.
