    This option limits the CPU time used by ffmpeg to the number of seconds
    specified.  After this time, the OS sends a SIGXCPU signal, which we
    handle and attempt to exit cleanly.  If the process is stuck, the OS
    will deliver a SIGKILL one second later, forcibly terminating the
    process.
    
    This functionality is useful in automated setups where a runaway ffmpeg
    process would otherwise go undetected.
