Is there any reason why overwriting the input file with the output file is currently forbidden?

It's not impossible, but when you do it with ffmpeg, it will truncate and damage the input file.

This could be achieved by creating a temporary file and then renaming it, but it's something I did not foresee since it can be easily done with a shell loop.

But it's on my TODO list!
