I'm going to document these when I get time but I'm very busy at the moment. 
Give me chance and I'll do it. I'm also working on iPod and PSP suggested 
command lines and I will eventually get round to updating the interface again 
and possibly reworking some of the parameters because they were designed to 
fit with my x264 philosophy rather than with FFmpeg so people have viewed 
some options as inconsistent.
