We cannot perform full escaping (urlencode conversion) seamlessly,
because we would get spare conversion of "%" sign to "%25" if user has
supplied already urlencoded url.
_Option_ to perform urlencode internally is possible, although i think
there are a lot of possibilities to do this conversion outside of
ffmpeg.
