Hi. Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I had thought of that. I do not think that is actually a problem. That
would have probably been a problem if it were the other way around, bit in
this case I think it is ok.

I browsed all existing options, keeping only the ones tagged "E.VA." and
"E..A.", and -profile was the best I found. I saw -compression_level you
suggest in your other mail, but it is always used for lossless compression,
so I thought it would be misleading.

In fact, I am deeply unsatisfied by the option system. The way things work
right now, you can put "-level 42" in your command line and have it silently
ignored, just because the selected codec do not use the level field.
Silently ignoring an option is bad.

I am not sure what could be done instead. Maybe a codec-specific option
system would be better. Something like:

ffmpeg ... -acodec libmp3lame:q=3:aq=2 ...

I am not sure.

Regards,
