Comment (by TheSHEEEP):

 The problem with error was, as it seems, that I have to use av_set_opt
 AFTER avcodec_open2(c, codec, NULL).

 When I do it like this:
 {{{
 if (avcodec_open2(c, codec, NULL) < 0)
 {
         av_log(c, AV_LOG_ERROR, "%s","could not open video codec\n");
         exit(1);
 }
 av_opt_set(c, "profile", "baseline", AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN);
 }}}

 The error is gone, but the video remains of "High" profile. I really start
 to think that this is a bug.
