     * Example: With a video that lasts for 22min 14secs, ''-n 6'' will create the six vidcaps:\\  3:22, 6:44, 10:04, 13:28, 16:50 and 20:12, while ''-i 3m'' will create 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00.\\  As you can see, ''-n'' distributes the vidcaps all over the video while ''-i N'' starts at ''N'' and goes in increments of it up to the end.     * Example: With a video that lasts for 22min 14secs, ''-n 6'' will create the six vidcaps:\\  3:22, 6:44, 10:04, 13:28, 16:50 and 20:12, while ''-i 3m'' will create 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00.\\  As you can see, ''-n'' distributes the vidcaps all over the video while ''-i N'' starts at ''N'' and goes in increments of it up to the end.

It is only required for anamorphic material and discouraged for the rest.\\   It can take either a floating point number (like ''1.33'' or ''1.778'') or a fraction (like ''4/3'' or ''16/9''). The latter is slightly preferable.+   * You can set the aspect ratio of the video with ''-a''.
