This is obfuscation on libx264's side to avoid people encoding using 
FFmpeg with bad settings.

Patch welcome for this. As I recall, Michael suggested we could do this 
(autoload the default preset if existing) for per-codec defaults, though 
it's not necessarily the ideal approach. Something using AVOption was 
proposed by Baptiste and seems to be a better route.
