mytharchive default profiles pass kbits/s to ffmpeg -ab option, instead of bits/s

[anonymous]

ffmpeg fails out for me when it's given an option like "-ab 192" for the output audio bitrate. The man page says -ab takes bits/s, not kbits/sec. It works for me if I pass "-ab 192k".

See attached patch.

patch to mytharchive profiles to fix ffmpeg -ab argument -- append 'k' to bitrate

Some other info -- I'm compiling mytharchive from SVN trunk, at revision 13244.

I'm using Debian. My ffmpeg version is apparently recent, but the info is a bit sloppy due to installing it from marillat's packages:

ffmpeg is a hyper fast real time audio/video encoder, a streaming server and a generic audio and video file converter. . It can grab from a standard Video4Linux video source and convert it into several file formats based on DCT/motion compensation encoding. Sound is compressed in MPEG audio layer 2 or using an AC3 compatible stream.

(In [13309]) ffmpeg have changed the units used by -ab parameter to specify the audio bitrate from kbits/sec to bits/sec. It seems as though older versions of ffmpeg already accept the new format so just use that.

Refs #3314.

(In [13310]) ffmpeg have changed the units used by -ab parameter to specify the audio bitrate from kbits/sec to bits/sec. It seems as though older versions of ffmpeg already accept the new format so just use that.

Fixes #3314.

(In [13359]) Forgot to also change the -ab parameter passed to ffmpeg in mythburn.py to use the new units in [13309].

Refs #3314.
