Yep.  I foolishly trusted the documentation :-)

I tried that and it doesn't work.  The ffmpeg people have and are doing a great job so it is rather rude to be picky but it would be nice to have all this tidied up for a 1.0 release.  Rather than having codec specific options maybe have some : seperated list so it would be like -o:v profile=main:crf=25 and -o:a ab=128k:profile=ACC_MAIN etc.

Cheers for all the help,
Ross

Actually "vprofile" does not occur at all in the documentation.
It states that the correct option is "profile".

Also not quite correct there is the statement that -x264opts
"Allow to set any x264 option".  Profile and level cannot be
passed to x264 that way, I think.
