-When importing an image sequence, -i also supports expanding shell-like
-wildcard patterns (globbing) internally. To lower the chance of interfering
-with your actual file names and the shell's glob expansion, you are required
-to activate glob meta characters by prefixing them with a single @code{%}
-character, like in @code{foo-%*.jpeg}, @code{foo-%?%?%?.jpeg} or
-@code{foo-00%[234%]%*.jpeg}.
-If your filename actually contains a character sequence of a @code{%} character
-followed by a glob character, you must double the @code{%} character to escape
-it. Imagine your files begin with @code{%?-foo-}, then you could use a glob
-pattern like @code{%%?-foo-%*.jpeg}. For input patterns that could be both a
-printf or a glob pattern, ffmpeg will assume it is a glob pattern.
