Yes, that way, ffmpeg profile and level would be set to correct ones, by
default.

Thing is, why changing profile and level if parameters does not
influence them ?

IMHO, just setting profile and level differently cause ipod will read it
is nonsense. I agree that default values might not be correct, it would
be great to fix them once for all, depending on parameters.
