[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] doc/faq: remove "-profile option fails when encoding H.264 video with AAC audio" entry

[Stefano Sabatini]

The error was fixed in commit ce9bd303794fcc94aa232c116bece13c5994b55b
more than one year ago, and does not affect all the currently supported
versions.

In particular, fix trac issue #1535.

- at section -profile option fails when encoding H.264 video with AAC audio
-
- at command{ffmpeg} prints an error like
-
- at example
-Undefined constant or missing '(' in 'baseline'
-Unable to parse option value "baseline"
-Error setting option profile to value baseline.
- at end example
-
-Short answer: write @option{-profile:v} instead of @option{-profile}.
-
-Long answer: this happens because the @option{-profile} option can apply to both
-video and audio.  Specifically the AAC encoder also defines some profiles, none
-of which are named @var{baseline}.
-
-The solution is to apply the @option{-profile} option to the video stream only
-by using @url{http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-specifiers-1, Stream specifiers}.
-Appending @code{:v} to it will do exactly that.
-
 @section Using @option{-f lavfi}, audio becomes mono for no apparent reason.
 
 Use @option{-dumpgraph -} to find out exactly where the channel layout is
