Comment (by Cigaes):

 Replying to [comment:4 rogerdpack]:
 > Since there are some "file based" presets that aren't listed
 (https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/master/presets ) the output text
 might be better served as "Possible tunes (doesn't include external
 files):" or something like that.

 I am afraid this is difficult: {{{-vpre}}} and its presets is specific to
 the {{{ffmpeg}}} command-line tool, while this error message comes from
 the library, and could appear in another application that does not have
 that kind of presets.

 > Also a similar help output message for bad h264 profiles would be
 convenient, as well, but not necessary. Thanks!

 Patch for that posted:
 [http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2012-July/128463.html]
 It will be possible to fix your name in the commit message if you want
 until this is pushed in the official repository.
