Hmm, -noframedrop isn't actually documented in the 0.9x man
page, and is only mentioned in the examples in 1.x CVS.  Maybe
someone could add that?  (I would be glad to make doc tweaks.)
I remember it not working, but I was probably typing -nodropframe
instead.  :-/  But I *knew* there was a feature for this.
Thanks!
