Each time I invoke ffmpeg I get a large heading:
$ ffmpeg

Hyper fast Audio and Video encoder
usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

Reading the man page and looking at the -help output I don't see a command
line option for turning off all that information. Is there a way to do so?

TIA,

Rich
