Ffmpeg-python: Feature Request: Support stream copy

[znorris]

Being able to use the -codec option (with copy in my case) would be a nice to have. See https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-copy for details.

What is the status of this? Does the implementation of this clash with something else?
Stream copy is quite useful when you want to just extract audio or video from the stream without reencoding and losing quality.

It already works,
.output(<video_name>, vcodec="copy", acodec="copy ")

Thanks @1ghost1!

Thanks. Couldn't figure that out from the documentation.
@kkroening Can you add some more info to the ffmpeg.output method in documentation. It seems to be capable of doing a lot but the documentation on it is scarce. I especially don't understand what is being done with the **kwargs.
