- starts the command
+ - -loglevel error
- sets the verbosity of logging to show all errors

- path, name and extension of the input file
+ - -map 0:v:0
- designated the first video stream as the stream on which to perform this hash generation operation.
-map 0 can be used to run the operation on all streams.
+ - -f hash -hash md5
- produce a checksum hash, and set the hash algorithm to md5. See the official documentation on hash for other algorithms.
