I tried this from the command and couldn't get it to work.  It considers
the argument a filename.

C:\Program Files\MediaInfo>mediainfo --Parsespeed=1
\tmp\encoding\jellyfish-30-mbps-hd-hevc.mkv

Oh well.  Thanks for the reply anyways.  I wrote to MediaInfo support
suggesting a feature request to possibly do this.
