--------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When using colons in file names (And adding the `file://` protocol to
 prevent ffmpeg mistaking filename for protocol) ffmpeg automatically
 overwrites any existing file without prompt.

 {{{
 ffmpeg -i in.avi "file://$HOME/out:file.webm"
 # creates file
 ffmpeg -i in.avi "file://$HOME/out:file.webm"
 # No overwrite prompt
 ffmpeg -i in.avi out-file.webm
 # creates file
 ffmpeg -i in.avi out-file.webm
 # Overwrite prompt
 }}}
