You can send them 50 times and I still don't care.
I can use search myself, the point is that not everyone has to use
search themselves, find some document, figure it isn't quite ideal
if you're already used to FFmpeg and then some things are explained
in a way we do _not_ want them to be done.

I really have not the slightest clue what you mean by this.

Because every single time my very specific request was completely ignored,
people send links to random documents that have nothing to do with FFmpeg
specifically and when I say why it's nonsense everyone suddenly disappears.
