* doc: Add FAQs about running in background (rev 2)Jim DeLaHunt2017-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two FAQs about running FFmpeg in the background. The first explains the use of the -nostdin option in a straightforward way. Text revised based on review. The second FAQ starts from a confusing error message, and leads to the solution, use of the -nostdin option. The purpose of the second FAQ is to attract web searches from people having the problem, and offer them a solution. Add an anchor to the Main Options section of the ffmpeg documentation, so that the FAQs can link directly there. Signed-off-by: Michael Niedermayer <michael@niedermayer.cc>

| * avconv: remove -same_quantAnton Khirnov2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has not worked for anything other than fringe codecs (asv1/2, mdec, mjpeg[b]) since about 2003 and nobody ever noticed or complained. This sufficiently proves that there are no users of this option who have a clue of what they are doing, so it is completely useless.
