Comment (by Cigaes):

 Replying to [comment:2 slhck]:
 > AFAICT that has been around for quite some time and could be achieved by
 simply choosing an output file name without `%` syntax.

 True, but it did not work well. It was greatly enhanced last April,
 probably deemed mature enough to become the default.

 > No, because this creates JPEG images under a .gif extension.

 You are right, I missed that. And adding {{{-c gif}}} does not fix it. It
 seems that the works on animated GIF has completely broken support for GIF
 as individual images.

 > {{{± % mediainfo output0118.gif}}}

 The output of mediainfo has rarely been any use for anything.
