Bug#594108: ffmpeg: documented example fails: Unrecognized option 'vfilters'

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 4:0.6-2
Severity: normal

/usr/share/doc/ffmpeg/html/libavfilter.html contains the example

ffmpeg -i in.avi -vfilters "crop=0:0:0:240" out.avi

but it seems to fail:

$ wget http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2009/debconf9/low/1050_Lightning_talk_Redirecting_require.ogv
$ ffmpeg -i 1050_Lightning_talk_Redirecting_require.ogv -vfilters "crop=0:0:0:240" out.avi

Unrecognized option 'vfilters'

Any idea if the documentation is simply out of date or if there's some
Debian specific change causes this behavior?
