``--frames=<number>``
- Play/convert only first ``<number>`` video frames, then quit. For audio
- only, run ``<number>`` iteration of the playback loop, which is most likely
- not what you want. (This behavior also applies to the corner case when there
- are fewer video frames than ``<number>``, and audio is longer than the
- video.)
+ Play/convert only first ``<number>`` video frames, then quit.
+
+ ``--frames=0`` loads the file, but immediately quits before initializing
+ playback. (Might be useful for scripts which just want to determine some
+ file properties.)
+
+ For audio-only playback, any value greater than 0 will quit playback
+ immediately after initialization. The value 0 works as with video.
``--fullscreen``, ``--fs``
