Yes. You can cleanly kill the application (which will cause it to 
complete writing the output file properly) by killing it with the 
"-HUP" or the "-USR1" signal.  This is stated clearly in the 
application's output.

Note that (if you're outputting a ".mov", ".mp4" or ".avi" file) you 
can't just terminate the application using <control>-C; you need to 
terminate the application cleanly using the "-HUP" or the "-USR1" 
signal - or else use the "-d <duration>" option.

If, however, you are running Windows - which doesn't let you signal 
an application like this - then you are out of luck, unless you use 
"-d <duration>".  Sorry.
