 I use ffmpeg directly in the command line.

 When debugging, the progress report information is very useful but the
 block of information about copyright, build, configuration and library
 version info is redundant and disturbs the formatting of the visible text
 in the terminal.

 I always have trouble finding the output of a previous command when for
 example using ffmpeg in a shell script together with other commands.

 `-loglevel quiet` hides all of the mentioned above. Including the desired
 progress information.

 Please provide means of hiding copyright, build, configuration and library
 version information without hiding the progress information.
