1686	Dataloss because ffmpeg manpage about -passlogfile is wrong	jonb		"ffmpeg manpage about -passlogfile is wrong, it says: 

""-passlogfile prefix
Set two-pass log file name prefix to prefix, the default file name prefix is ``ffmpeg2pass''. The complete file name will be PREFIX-N.log, where N is a number specific to the output stream.""

So based on that I felt it was safe to use the input filename as -passlogfile, but nooo, it was not safe, and my input files was overwritten, causing a dataloss :-(

Command lines and ffmpeg output is attached as files.

System is debian stable.
