The key benefits are:
- Different to other graph printing methods, this is outputting:
- all graphs with runtime state
(including auto-inserted filters)
- each graph with its inputs and outputs
- all filters with their in- and output pads
- all connections between all input- and output pads
- for each connection:
- the runtime-negotiated format and media type
- the hw context
- if video hw context, both: hw pixfmt + sw pixfmt
- Output can either be printed to stdout or written to specified file
- Output is machine-readable
- Use the same output implementation as ffprobe, supporting multiple
formats

Add videotoolbox to the list of supported hardware acceleration methods
in the -hwaccel option documentation. This option allows users to utilize
Apple's VideoToolbox framework for hardware-accelerated video decoding
on macOS and iOS devices.
The videotoolbox acceleration has been supported for a while, but was
missing from the documentation.

This is a replacement in ffmpeg for the deprecated avcodec flag AV_CODEC_FLAG_DROPCHANGED.
This option is meant to be used when the filtergraph should not be
reinited upon input parameter changes as that leads to loss of state
in the filtergraph potentially leading to broken or aborted output,
e.g. inserting of silence with first_pts specified in aresample.
Generally useful to avoid corrupted yet decodable packets in live
streaming inputs.
This option when enabled takes precedence over reinit_filters
At present, if reading from a readrate-limited input is stalled,
then upon resumption, ffmpeg will read the input without any
throttle till the average readrate matches the specified readrate.
This new option allows to set a speed limit when reading is resumed
until the average readrate matches the primary readrate.
Fixes#11469
-disposition:
Clarify the meaning of the default value, and how the '+' and '-'
prefixes work. Add more examples.
-stats:
Clarify that it appears as an "info"-level log.
-progress:
Add info about the "progress" key's value being "continue" or "end".
Add an example of logging to stdout.

Split it into sections that describe in detail
* the components of the transcoding pipeline
* the main features it handles, in order of complexity
* streamcopy
* transcoding
* filtering
Replace the current confusing/misleading diagrams with new ones that
actually reflect the program components and data flow between them.
This extends the syntax for specifying input streams in -map and complex
filtergraph labels, to allow selecting a view by view ID, index, or
position. The corresponding decoder is then set up to decode the
appropriate view and send frames for that view to the correct
filtergraph input(s).
Vendor id will help to select desired device in case of kernel driver is
unknow or unsupported, for vendor may support different kernel driver on
different platforms.

This allows one complex filtergraph's output to be sent as input to
another one, which is useful in certain situations (one is described in
the docs).
Chaining filtergraphs was already effectively possible by using a
wrapped_avframe encoder connected to a loopback decoder, but it is ugly,
non-obvious and inefficient.
The {br}/{abr} directives are not limited to post-encoding, they can
also be used pre-muxing. The already-present {packet} tag describes this
more accurately, so just drop the assertions.
Always use the functionality of the latter, which makes more sense as it
avoids losing keyframes due to vsync code dropping frames.
Deprecate the 'source_no_drop' value, as it is now redundant.
It is badly named (should have been -top_field_first, or at least -tff),
underdocumented and underspecified, and (most importantly) entirely
redundant with the setfield filter.
Stop claiming the argument is always a floating point number, which
* confuses floating point and decimal numbers
* is not always true even accounting for the above point
Read the timebase from FrameData rather than the input stream. This
should fix#10393 and generally be more reliable.
Replace the use of '-1' to indicate demuxing timebase with the string
'demux'. Also allow to request filter timebase with
'-enc_time_base filter'.
