[FFmpeg-user] forcing x264 baseline

dear all,

for a lot of time I used this command line to convert my video to a
format compatible with my android device:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -strict experimental -s 320x240 -b 384k -vcodec
libx264 -flags +loop+mv4 -cmp 256 -partitions
+parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -subq 7 -trellis 1 -refs
5 -bf 0 -flags2 +mixed_refs -coder 0 -me_range 16 -g 250 -keyint_min
25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -acodec
aac -ac 2 -ab 128k -ar 44100 output.mp4

using mediainfo I see that

Format profile                           : Baseline at L1.3

and the result file will play on android without problems

Now, I suppose after an ffmpeg update, the same command line produce a file with

Format profile                           : Main at L1.3

by this way the file mp4 will not play on my android device.

I see in the man ffmpeg that "-profile" is deprecated, so, what will
be the best way to force Baseline profile?

many thanks
Paolo
