+@item -autoscale
+Automatically scale the video according to the resolution of first frame.
+Enabled by default, use @option{-noautoscale} to disable it. When autoscale is
+disabled, all output frames might not be in the same resolution and may require
+some additional explicit processing according to your final rendering/output
+destination. Disabling autoscale may not work in all situations. Therefore, it
+is not recommended to disable it unless you really know what you are doing.
+Disable autoscale at your own risk.
