|  +- Output file name (sans .mp4)
+---- Title number

Argument lines starting with `@` contain extra
arguments passed to HandBrakeCLI. Each one
affects all the output lines until a new
such line is seen.

Actual comments starting with `#` and empty
lines are ignored.

Greetz and thankz to Con Kolivas for
the HandBrake options!
