-x, --optimizeOptimize timecode
-r, --fps < nframes:fps> 
Edit timecodes with the spec.
You can specify -r more than two times, to produce
VFR movie.
" nframes"  is number of frames, which " fps"  is
applied to.
0 as nframes means " rest of the movie" 
" fps"  is a rational or integer.
For example, 25 or 30000/1001.
-c, --compress-dtsEnable DTS compression.
-d, --delay < n> Delay audio by n millisecond.
-T, --timescale < keep|n> 
keep: Keep original timescale.
n: Set timescale of videotrack to n.
