Would it be possible to add a few more of the standard options here to avoid some normal cases having to pass special libturing-only options?

I'm thinking of the following AVCodecContext fields:
* gop_size (-g in ffmpeg.c)
* global_quality (-q/-global_quality, for constant-quality mode)
* profile (-profile, but see other encoders because they often make it a private option)
* rc_{min,max}_rate (-{min,max}rate, for VBR modes)
* rc_buffer_size (-bufsize, for the HRD)

(Though do ignore any of these which don't make sense in your library.)

This cleanup code is copied multiple times, maybe replace them all with a single "fail" path at the end and goto it?  (Like optionfail, but without the message and preserving the error code.)

You don't need this check, av_freep(&null_pointer) is explicitly valid.
