 The default is -1, it is equivalent to 1 if the format was automatically

+@item auto_convert
+If set to 1, try to perform automatic conversions on packet data to make the
+streams concatenable.
+
+Currently, the only conversion is adding the h264_mp4toannexb bitstream
+filter to H.264 streams in MP4 format. This is necessary in particular if
