 The documentation should clearly state which option does what.

 Let's take `-framerate` for example. https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html
 says:

   * The `-r` option "is not the same as the -framerate option". However,
 it does not say what the difference is.

   * `-framerate` is documented as "Set the grabbing frame rate.". However,
 it can be used for saving rather than grabbing.

   * "Default is ntsc, corresponding to a frame rate of 30000/1001."
 However, the default is `25`.

 When calling `ffmpeg --help`, the `-framerate` option is not even
 mentioned.
