I agree on this, but I have to admit, I read the man page over and over and I 
was still left confused (when is turbo meant to be used? On 1st of 3 pass or 
1st of 2 pass?).

So I suggest leaving it as is, but improving the man page somewhat 
(examples?). Also some kind of backing up or similar to prevent your log file 
being deleted by a cancel encode would be very nice... The syntax as is is 
OK, just needs better explaining. I'm willing to help with this if requested.
