looks like it can only be set [?] with an environment variable
export FFREPORT=file=/home/someone/log/ffmpeg-$(date +%Y%m%s).log
this is because, otherwise, it would have to parse the output filename from the command line parameters, which means “ffmpeg is already running, so has already started logging things” so kind of a cat or mouse game, apparently.
