Hello.
I've met a childish person with nickname "cehoyos" that made it his
goal to block a bug report I've filed.
Please do not use such derogatory characterizations. You are insulting
someone who is giving his time without cost to you. I won't reduce
myself to name-calling, but there are many unkind words to describe such
behaviour.
At first he tried to make up excuses for doing so, then ran out of
them and just starting setting bug status to "invalid" with no
reasoning.
Here is the bug in question: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/9074
In my experience, several developers of ffmpeg are brusque, but
invariable correct. If you find their reply(ies) terse, it is almost
certainly because you do not understand something and they have expected
you to RTFM.
I would characterize your "bug" report as one of those cases. Learn from
your experience, drop the grudge, move on and show some respect for
these people.

Your comments, Leo, are quite correct. However, there is no F*ing Manual. There is only man-style
documentation that supplies usage reminders to those who are already familiar with ffmpeg and its
usage, but that doesn't help newcomers. I wish the reality was different, and I've volunteered to
help with documentation, but the developers have rebuffed me and everyone else who has similarly
volunteered. It's their project and they make its policy. Still, I can only dream of what it could be.

I'm sure of it.
And the older I get, the more sure of it I become.
