	And the manpage should be fleshed out so that it says how to use the various
arguments it mentions. 

	Currently, says this: 

       -jpeg <option1:option2:...> (-vo jpeg only)
              Specify options for the JPEG output.
              Available options are:  [no]progressive,  [no]base­
              line, optimize, smooth, quality and outdir.

	I'll give it another shot. Thanks.
