Thanks so much.

This documentation is unfortunately quite brief. It just mentions existing options, but doesn't explain their meaning in detail, especially not value ranges, relations or dependencies. We just have such a question in the german board; just some examples of which kind of information is missing:
-mbd <string> (Macroblock decision algorithm)
... related to ASP or AVC, maybe both?
-subcmp <string or int> (Sub pel motion estimation compare function)
... which exist, and what are the (dis)advantages of each?

Slightly more detailed in some basic options is the FFmpeg Howto (http://www.itbroadcastanddigitalcinema.com/ffmpeg_howto.html), yet not at all complete.

Doc of switches in the exe is better, got all of it by pipeing the outputed text to a file
ffmpeg.exe > out.txt

Edit: LigH's sig link has a nice summary of switches as well!
