ffplay also has the -acodec, -vcodec etc. variants which I didn't add
for simplicity.
And indeed ffmpeg also has the shorter -c:specifier version.
My reasoning was that ffmpeg and ffplay were already not consistent,
and it didn't seem necessary to have so many variants.
But I can add the `-vcodec` variants for consistency with ffplay
and/or `-c:specifier` if desired.
