Sure, it displays how to use "-", but is there an actual use case for using "-loglevel -level" since the level prefix is not shown by default anyway?

Sure, it displays how to use "-", but is there an actual use case for using "-loglevel -level" since the level prefix is not shown by default anyway? Yeah I added this to show that incrementally updating the loglevel option and the "-" also works. Can change it to "+" if that is preferred. BTW: Is there some documentation on the generic flags syntax used in FFmpeg for options like "-fflags" or "-cpuflags" and how to combine the tokens with "+" or "-"? I couldn't find something on a quick scan. Regards, Tobias
