So the "1" is being interpreted as an output file name, possibly because
you say "-flags2 -intra_vlc -non_linear_quant..." so that -intra_vlc is
interpreted as removing flag intra_vlc from flags2, but his is not a
valid flag according to my list (on a slightly different build). Is this
what you meant?
