The user digs and digs
and only finds
something like ...?options.
But that might be only for URLs.
So he tries ?blocksize:11111 or is it blocksize=11111 who knows.
So he thinks maybe file:0?blocksize=11111 is not right or is it.

do you mean like
-i pipe:0 -blocksize 1111
well I would add an example!

This bug tracker isn't a user help resource, but you need to learn the basics first. Option placement matters: input options should be placed before the input. As it is, your example would apply to the output. See the synopsis:

http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Synopsis

So an example may look like:

ffmpeg -blocksize 1000 -i pipe:0 output.mkv

If you have further usage questions please ask the ffmpeg-user mailing list or visit the #ffmpeg IRC channel.
