@section -profile option fails when encoding H.264 video with AAC audio
@command{ffmpeg} prints an error like
@example
Undefined constant or missing '(' in 'baseline'
Unable to parse option value "baseline"
Error setting option profile to value baseline.
@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.
