Comment:

 All the proposed changes break the current syntax:

 a) different incompatible syntax with the current one
 b) this changes the semantics of the command ffmpeg -i IN OUT1 OUT2 to
 ffmpeg -i IN1 IN2 OUT
 c) ffmpeg currently supports multiple outputs, so it should not exit

 Truth is that you should be careful when using powerful (and dangerous)
 features of the shell, there is nothing ffmpeg as a tool can do about
 that.
