[FFmpeg-user] Increase ffmpeg memory footprint?

[Ned Rockson]

I am trying to increase the max footprint of memory for ffmpeg. I see an
option in -help output called max_alloc but it's not in the man pages. I'm
curious if there's any more documentation on this or perhaps a different
option that I'm missing.
