 Please check this example:
 http://pvtftp.trueinstruments.com/ffmpeg_bug.zip

 The example .bat file is for Windows, but it should equally work under
 Linux. This is tested on Sep 15 snapshot of the GIT.

 Running the command as such:
  * ffmpeg -i video-2011-09-07-12-02-58.mp4 -b 18000k -an a.avi

 Does not honor 18M bit rate, and instead encodes the file with 3-4Mbps bit
 rate with q constantly equal to 31.

 Also, -qmin/-qmax spec is not honored, and if qmin/qmax is specified to,
 for example, 2-8, q still stays at 31.0

 qscale is the only thing that works fine.

 Jul 31 2010 doesn't seem to have this problem and encodes everything
 correctly.
