[FFmpeg-user] x264 and profile flag no longer working

[Jonathan Isom]

Using the -profile flag not longer works.  Any changes to the command
that I'm unaware or is this a bug?

command :
ffmpeg -i /tmp/tmp.avi -y -vcodec libx264 -profile baseline -preset
medium -threads 2  -b 900000 -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ab 128000 -f mp4
-s 848x480 /tmp/tmp.mp4

Error:

[NULL @ 0xf46020] [Eval @ 0x7fffa7c6c2f0] Undefined constant or
missing '(' in 'baseline'
[NULL @ 0xf46020] Unable to parse option value "baseline"
[NULL @ 0xf46020] Error setting option profile to value baseline.
