[FFmpeg-user] dnxhd error in different versions

[Jacob Harris]

Hello FFmpeg users!

I'm new to FFmpeg and new to this list. I have two versions available to
me, and I'm getting an error with one. In the old version -- 0.6.1, I know
I know -- the command works beautifully. In the new version (0.11.1) it
does not. I get nasty errors. I've at least accounted for the different
bitrate syntax (-b became -b:v) but other than that, I cannot figure out
what this new command should be. I've only had issues with dnxhd. Other
codecs seem to work fine (mjpeg, for example). I sure would like to know
how to get dnxhd going in the new version.

I've pasted the commands and output below. Thanks!
