The reasoning behind this complexification in v2 is that v1 put the 
string returned by cl.exe into a shell, allowing potential injection 
vectors.

Granted, the injection would come from inside ffmpeg code, so probably 
all would be lost at that point anyway, but at the very least, this 
approach avoids spawning a bunch of subshells we don't need, though is 
quite a bit uglier.
