in doc/ffmpeg.texi
   in @chapter Description

There is an example:

To set the video bitrate of the output file to 64kbit/s:
@example
ffmpeg -i input.avi -b:v 64k output.avi
@end example

However, nowhere in the file does it explain how the -b flag works. I
assume from the example that functionality looks like
``-b:[av] BITRATE''.

The -ab flag has been removed from the documentation.
