Regarding presets, my idea was that subsequently specified presets
having some overlap with previously specified presets would overwrite
those values. I expect your code exhibits this behaviour this
automatically.

Then I suggest we have presets for profiles/levels/equivalent/other
bit stream restrictions (e.g. iPod specific restrictions or whatever)
and presets for quality/speed tradeoffs. This would allow, for
example, '-vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -vpre ipod' where the libx264 hq
preset may specify the use of H.264 High Profile features and the
libx264 ipod preset would disable them.
