ffmpeg h264

 Hello fellow dvd::rip users,

i=B4m having a little problem encoding videos using ffmpegs h264 codec.

Every time i try to encode something i get:

export_ffmpeg.so  Using FFMPEG codec 'h264' (FourCC 'h264', H264 (avc)).
export_ffmpeg.so  No profile selected
export_ffmpeg.so  warning: Error opening configuration file
./ffmpeg.cfg: No such file or directory
export_ffmpeg.so  Starting 1 thread(s)
export_ffmpeg.so  Set display aspect ratio to input
[libx264 @ 0x230d940]broken ffmpeg default settings detected
[libx264 @ 0x230d940]use an encoding preset (vpre)
export_ffmpeg.so warning: could not open FFMPEG codec
encoder.c warning video export module error: init failed
transcode critical: failed to init encoder

Versions used:

dvd::rip        0.98.11
transcode    1.1.5-r1
ffmpeg         0.5_p20373

I guess ffmpeg uses x264, that would be 0.0.20091021.

I=B4m really stuck on this... judging from googling around, transcode
calls ffmpeg using deprecated command line switches.

Regards,
