That would certainly be one possibility to solve my current problem.

Coming back to my original question, one could also argue that
"ffmpeg -preset" currently works more like a reset (overriding
user options), than a *p*reset.

Well, I'll probably hardcode all options, without any preset.
Seems to be the safest approach right now.
