Pos: is the position (in time, seconds) in the output (I think) file.
NNNNf is the number of frames _decoded_. % is the percentage (in
bytes) of the current location in the input file. fps is the rate at
which frames are being encoded, which has nothing to do with the
framerate of the source or output file, just the speed of your cpu.
Trem: is estimated time remaining until encoding is finished. It may
be incorrect if seeking/edl is involved and might be nonsense anyway.
XXXXmb is an estimate of total output file size. A-V: is current
difference between audio and video timers (for sync). [XXXX:XXX] is
the average video and audio bitrate so far in the output file.
