OK, will change.

Yeah I added this to show that incrementally updating the loglevel 
option and the "-" also works. Can change it to "+" if that is preferred.

BTW: Is there some documentation on the generic flags syntax used in 
FFmpeg for options like "-fflags" or "-cpuflags" and how to combine the 
tokens with "+" or "-"? I couldn't find something on a quick scan.
