The web interface doesn't provide a way to enter the "command" option. 
  You could put it your options file, but then it will be applied to 
*every* download regardless of programme type. The web interface itself 
doesn't provide any means to override it for a particular programme. 
Unless you want to transcode every download without exception, your 
"command" option would need to reference some sort of script that 
determines which files should be transcoded based on, e.g., programme 
type, file extension, etc., before running ffmpeg.  If you only 
transcode files occasionally, it might be simpler to just set up a 
profile in WinFF or Super-C and use one of those applications to process 
your files.
