Available options:

  help           get help (TODO!)
  br=XXX         specify bitrate in
                 kbit <4-16000> or
                 bit  <16001-24000000>
  key=XXX        maximum keyframe interval
                 (in frames)
  deinterlace    enable deinterlacing
  q=XXXX         quality (1-fastest, 5-best)
  min_quant=XXX  minimum quantizer (0-32)
  max_quant=XXX  maximum quantizer (0-32)
  rc_period=XXX  rate control period
  rc_reaction_period=XXX rate control
                         reaction period
  rc_reaction_ratio=XXX  rate control
                         reaction ratio

.TP
