ffmpeg | branch: master | Gyan Doshi <ffmpeg at gyani.pro> | Mon Dec 21 14:34:49 2020 +0530| [842714b5cb4112ec6805ed228b34d711024ad9e2] | committer: Gyan Doshi

ffmpeg: add option stats_period

At present, progress stats are updated at a hardcoded interval of
half a second. For long processes, this can lead to bloated
logs and progress reports.

Users can now set a custom period using option -stats_period
Default is kept at 0.5 seconds.
