well, rc_eq option is deprecated, I'd rather see it dropped.

This is still broken. If the supplied patch helps, why not use it?

Obviously no one is ripping DVDs these days. I have just looked into the source of the current version of transcode, and it still has the offending line. I haven't bothered to apply my patch and see if the current build works, but I have no reason to believe it won't.

If anyone else comes against this issue, add the patch as a user patch then continue as normal.

I think this patch is obsolete by ffmpeg-4 patch.

Unfortunately, that just brings up the next error:

Closed and marked as invalid. No point generating noise when reviewing active bugs.
