It doesn't actually, I am using it as

> ffmpeg -c:v png -pix_fmt rgb24 -f image2pipe -r 24 -i - -y -loop 0
video.gif
and
> ffmpeg -c:v png -pix_fmt rgb24 -f image2pipe -r 24 -i - -y  video.gif

which produces exactly the same result. I am reading set of images from
STDIN for animation creation, if that matters,
