[FFmpeg-user] Syntax problems with different versions of FFmpeg

Hi,

I try to apply a command with FFmpeg but I have a problem with
different versions of FFmpeg. The problem comes from the -padleft ...
-padright ... and a version of FFmpeg.
It is reported that the syntax is no longer valid ... but in a more
recent version of FFmpeg syntax in question works, and I'm wondering
...

That's the problem:

A version of FFmpeg under windows:

C:\Documents and Settings\toto1>ffmpeg -i "E:\videos_pour_ekd\machines_sous_esc
lier_divx.avi"  -s 1280x720 -aspect 16:9 -padleft 312 -padright 312 -padbottom
 -padtop 0 -padcolor 808080 -sameq -y "C:\Documents and Settings\toto1\Mes docu
ents\ekd_tests\vidéo\08_08_11_video_filtre_bandes_predef.avi"

I do not understand all that this request syntax as values ​​(???):

If I put:-vf pad = 0:0:0:0: black ... it works !, why ?

Here the operation under the default version of FFmpeg in Linux Mint 11 RC2:

Syntax:-vf pad ... Is now the syntax by default in all newer versions
of FFmpeg ?

I am looking for a very recent version of ffmpeg for Windows
(ffmpeg.exe) with which the -padlef n -padright n ... -padcolor
hexadecimal ... working properly, can you help me ?
