Correction: that's "-ffourcc", shorthand for "force fourcc". This is
also in the man page. Mind that to the best of my awareness fourccs are
case-sensitive; if the arrangement you were using before was giving you
"DivX" or "DIVX", you won't necessarily get the same results if you
specify "-ffourcc Divx".
