It surely is, that's where I quoted it from-
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#Advanced-options and about 300 lines down 
(or search for "-bsf"). It's around line 1760 of doc/ffmpeg.texi in the 
source tree. (You could also look at 
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-bitstream-filters.html)

Those are documentation for ffmpeg, pretty much the reference set unless you 
read the source code.

Where did you get -that- idea? (User doc has been a thing for at least 50 
years, I still have some of those books, and probably a lot longer.)


BTW, the text "underflow" only appears maybe 20 times in the copy of the 
source I have handy (I'm not going to update just for this).

Possibly the most relevant ones are-
libavformat/mpegenc.c:                       "buffer underflow st=%d bufi=%d 
size=%d\n",
libavcodec/ratecontrol.c:            av_log(s->avctx, AV_LOG_ERROR, "rc 
buffer underflow\n");

but we don't know _because_we_don't_have_the_console_output_.

z!
