+@item Launch @var{args}
+Launch an @command{ffmpeg} command when creating @command{ffserver}.
+
+@var{args} must be a sequence of arguments to be provided to an
+@command{ffmpeg} instance. The first provided argument is ignored, and
+it is replaced by a path with the same dirname of the @command{ffserver}
+instance, followed by the remaining argument and terminated with a
+path corresponding to the feed.
+
+In case you need a more complex @command{ffmpeg} configuration,
+e.g. if you need to generate multiple FFM feeds with a single
+@command{ffmpeg} instance, you should launch @command{ffmpeg} by hand.
+
+This option is ignored in case the commandline option @option{-n} is
+specified.
