Support Synfig related help

Hi, according to synfig.org/wiki/Doc:Synfig_CLI_Syntax, if we want to use gif as output target, it is

synfig myanimation.sifz -t gif -o myanimation.gif

but how can i use ogg(ffmpeg) as an output target,

synfig myanimation.sifz -t ffmpeg -o myanimation.ogg

will provide the bellow message:
synfig(4927) [09:13:03 AM] warning: Broken Pipe…

Synfig Studio works fine because we can define the parameters after we choose ffmpeg target.

Try this:

synfig myanimation.sifz -t ffmpeg -vc mpeg4 -vb 1000 -o myanimation.ogg

Write:

synfig --target-video-codecs

to know which codecs are available instead of mpeg4. Replace 1000 by the desired bitrate
-G
