#1686: Dataloss because ffmpeg manpage about -passlogfile is wrong

Reporter: jonb | Type: defect

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.
