Ah,  I thought it would be something that simple.

I'm confused about the -mpegopts parameters, and I think I've got a 
fundamental misunderstanding of something.  You can see, in my command 
line, where I've passed height/width/bitrate/etc. under "-lavcopts"; yet 
the man page lists command parameters under "-mpegopts" that also can be 
supplied.

Where's the correct place to specify these options?
