This switches vp8 to "realtime" mode that works fast, adapting to
the speed of incoming frames, and produces the best quality in can
given realtime constraints.
In practice, this gives 2x larger video files but no noticible quality
difference. It also eliminates huge delays for encoding the video.
Drive-by: document our ffmpeg option choices and add some links
to documentation for future use.
