   A nice GUI to FFMpeg (and MediaInfo)! Such programs are often a good   
   method to figure out the best parameters for command line programs.   
   Unfortunately, AudioExtractor explicitly omits these parameters from   
   the encoder message status display. There are 2 workarounds, though:   
      
   First method would be to add "-report" as additional "User command line   
   parameter" (CL1). Afterwards, a logfile with timestamp in its name will   
   be created inside the AudioExtractor main program folder for every   
   conversation.   
      
   This method has 2 drawbacks, though. The FFMpeg loglevel is fixed to   
   "Debug" in this case, which slows the conversation down, considerably,   
   and creates quiet a lot logging overhead. The second drawback is, that   
   the AudioExtractor conversation status window will be left blank.   
      
   A better approach is to provide the FFMpeg command line tool, which is   
   run from inside AudioExtractor, with a specifically crafted environment   
   variable. This can be done by placing the following RunAE.cmd alongside   
   the AudioExtractor main program file (AudioExtractor64.exe) and always   
   start the program with this *.cmd.   
      
   :: -----------------------------------------------   
   :: Save the following 3 lines as RunAE.cmd   
   if not exist ".\Logs" md Logs   
   set FFREPORT=file=Logs\\%%p_%%t.log:level=-8   
   start AudioExtractor64.exe   
   :: -----------------------------------------------   
      
   This *.cmd creates a special "Logs" folder inside the main AudioExtractor   
   program directory (if it doesn't exist, already) and sets a log file name   
   with timestamp and log level for FFMpeg logging. Loglevel -8 is the lowest   
   possible setting and only logs the command line for each conversation.   
   (Actually, because FFMpeg is also used by AudioExtractor to retrieve file   
   information, each conversation creates 2 logfiles per file converted.)   
      
   The second method adds no noticeable time to each conversation and does   
   not block the conversation status display inside the AudioExtractor status   
   window.
