You are doing nothing wrong. It was my mistake to mention -profile. It
is listed in 'ffmpeg -h', but is not available yet.

I like to verify my suggestions, but this time I didn't. This is what
happens when I rely on memory as I previously tested the new options a
month ago but apparently forgot that -profile wasn't usable yet.
