#4532: ffmpeg (vers. 2.3.4 or 2.6.2) - "-timestamp" option doesn't work any more
------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
             Reporter:  wolfi       |                     Type:  defect
               Status:  new         |                 Priority:  important
            Component:  ffmpeg      |                  Version:  2.3.5
             Keywords:  -timestamp  |               Blocked By:

 Summary of the bug:

 In earlier versions (I have: "ffmpeg version 0.7.13-rpmfusion" ) the
 option "-timestamp '2015-05-01 12:34:56'" correctly set the output-file's
 metadata.
 The newer version "ffmpeg version 2.3.4" - or even 2.6.2-static just bails
 out with:

 Option timestamp (set the recording timestamp ('now' to set the current
 time)) cannot be applied to output file /tmp/x.mp4 -- you are trying to
 apply an input option to an output file or vice versa. Move this option
 before the file it belongs to.
 Error parsing options for output file /tmp/x.mp4.
 Error opening output files: Invalid argument


 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 % ffmpeg -i input.file -timestamp "2015-05-01 12:34:56" /tmp/output.mp4

 ...as you can see - it fails at the option-parse stage already.

 The 'severity' here is, that you can't set essential metadata on the
 output.


 and - what versions are showing this ?
 well - 2.3.4 - and also 2.6.2-static show this.
