 ffmpeg floods my log files with startup messages. This makes it very
 difficult to see what ffmpeg is actually doing. The startup message should
 be removed.
 See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5596135/run-ffmpeg-without-
 outputting-configuration-information

 Example follows below:

 computer:~$ ffmpeg -loglevel quiet
