2nd try:

@item -frame_drop_threshold @var{parameter}
Frame drop threshold, which specifies how much behind video frames can be before
they are being dropped. In frame rate units, so 1.0 is one frame. The default is
-1.1. One possible usecase is to avoid framedrops in case of noisy timestamps
or to increase frame drop precission in case of exact timestamps.
