From: softworkz <softworkz at hotmail.com>

When viewing logs, there are situations where it is not entirely
clear whether ffmpeg CLI has exited gracefully. The two primary cases
are

- A crash/segfault has occured
  Windows for example doesn't output any message to the calling shell
- The process has been terminated (e.g. killed externally)

Printing "EXIT" on exit provides a reliable indication that the
process has exited normally.
