Who maintains the documentation on the above and how can I contact to ask if it 
is wrong or correct?

16.15 mpeg2

MPEG-2 video encoder.

16.15.1 Options

profile integer

    Select the mpeg2 profile to encode:

    ‘422’
    ‘main’
    ‘ss’

        Spatially Scalable
    ‘snr’

        SNR Scalable
    ‘high’
    ‘simple’

There are no numbers listed, but my guess is the order as is written and would be "main" 
= 1 and "high" = 4

This is wrong and "high should be 1 and "main" should be 4.

Indeed.

I will wait a few more days and fix it then unless somebody beats me.

You can fix it if you want, but I don't know why anybody assumes that the order of the options and their integer mapping actually matches? Nothing says it does, and I bet there are other options where it does not. I think what confused the user here is that the option is mentioned as an "integer" option when in fact it is a string option from user point of view. Maybe we shuld simply remove the <integer> part, so the user can use the string equivavalent as generally advised.
