It appears to me that ffmpeg commands have the following structure:

This will probably complete someone else's FOSS bingo card, but if
you are intent on putting in many hours of work to figure out ffmpeg
options, you might be served by browsing the source code.
Browsing the source is the least effective option. The most effective
method (for me) is to collect and analyze command lines that are known
to work. That's what I've requested.
(That's "It's all documented in the source", for anyone playing
along at home)
I haverequested folks to submit command lines that are known to
work. I hope to get thousands of them.
I hope they will send them to me as private messages.
One of the great things about this ML, and QA sites is that the
questions and responses are public. Asking for thousands of
private examples runs contrary to that.
Yes, it is contrary to public work, but this is not public work and
making it public could mislead people before the results are known. Of
course, I will share the results, if any, with this list and with the
ffmpeg project. That 'said', people are free to submit their working
command lines to this list. I don't care how I get them.
That being said, I suspect people would glady send you
personal examples on the basis of private consultancy. Do
you have a budget?
Sure.
My main question is why won't commands from this ML
to other users, and answers to questions on QA sites
from the same people suffice for your purpose?...
People with problems submit command lines that don't work. When the
command lines are corrected, that status is rarely disclosed or
acknowledged.
Or to
put it another way: how will people sending you
thousands of examples know they are being helpful?
I will thank them.
I mean, the `rm' example (presumably) works, but
that didn't seem to be what you were looking for.
Are you serious?
