The FFmpeg build system *requires* GNU make 3.81, as you can read in
the INSTALL file.

ffmpeg-user random tip #1
The -b (bitrate) and -ab (audio bitrate) ffmpeg options take as argument a
bitrate expressed in bits per second, and not in Kbits per second as in previous
versions. Change your command lines accordingly.
