Comment (by llogan):

 Replying to [ticket:613 foo]:
 > The ffmpeg documentation at http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html contains
 numerous examples of setting the bitrate using '-b', but no actual
 documentation for it.

 Where do you see no documentation for -b? Or do you mean ''man ffmpeg''?

 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -h | grep -w "\-b"
 -b bitrate          video bitrate (please use -b:v)
 }}}
 I didn't see any mention of -ab however.

 > It still appears to work in recent builds, so probably the documentation
 for it should be brought back.  Otherwise, it should be dropped from the
 examples.

 The doc source has been updated to change -b to -b:v and -b:a:
