Can't mix command-line and profile options in mencoder

[markgrutten@…]

I use mencoder for transcoding using x264. I like to use a profile for most of the encoding options, then set a bitrate on the command line. This usage doesn't work for recent versions of mencoder.

Using the regression testing suggestions I was able to narrow down the days where the problem was introduced. I can compile a version extracted from the 10-June-2010 and it works fine, but 11th June is broken.

I'm using an arch linux PKGBUILD script containing the following configure line
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --confdir=/usr/local/share/mplayer --extra-cflags=-fno-strict-aliasing --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib --disable-gl --language=all
