 you either want:
        -F codec_string
               encoder parameter strings [module dependent].
               The -F parameter has different  meanings  for  different  export
               modules.

               -y ffmpeg:
                 The  codec  String  for  the codec you want to encode. Example
               values are -F mpeg4 or -F mpeg1video or -F  huffyuv.  To  get  a
               list of valid codecs, use -F list

Yeah, I've read that.  All that does is select the h264 codec (AFAICT,
transcode's ffmpeg 'codec' really just uses libavcodec as a bridge to
other codecs).
It doesn't really tell me how to pass things to control e.g. bframes,
profile level, whatever.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/vga2usb/tc$ cat ffmpeg.cfg
[h264]
vqblur = 0.0
vstrict = -1

that?
