+By default, compression is done using the quality metric. This option allows 
for
+compression using compression ratio. The compression ratio for each level could
+be specified. The compression ratio of a layer @code{l} species the what ratio 
of
+total file size is contained in the first @code{l} layers.
+
+Example usage:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -i input.bmp -c:v jpeg2000 -layer_rates "100,10,1" output.j2k
+@end example
+
+This would compress the image to contain 3 layers, where the data contained in 
the
+first layer would be compressed by 1000 times, compressed by 100 in the first 
two layers,
+and shall contain all data while using all 3 layers.
