I tried single and double quotes and they don't fix the problem. Does
the code by Reimar apply to all suboptions? I think it would be
reasonable. I tried it for -x264encopts but it didn't work so I'm
guessing it only applies to some suboptions. I'll have a look and see
what I can grep in the source.
