Sorry about this:
I thought you were asking about the "libx264rgb" encoder (which encodes
videos that only FFmpeg and FFmpeg-based players can read).

Both the level and the profile options are mentioned in the documentation.
People knowing how h264 works know about "levels" and "profiles" (note
that levels have no relevance whatsoever in the software world and to the
best of my knowledge, the hardware manufactures - for whom the term
was created - refuse to guarantee compatibility with a specific level) and
would search for appropriate ffmpeg options.
The FFmpeg documentation should not explain what levels and profiles
are, I can't speak for the wiki.

Sorry, Carl Eugen
