Description

x264 default is closed gop (open_gop=0), ffmpeg defaults to open gop unless -flags +cgop is specified.

This commit e25c67108a77b2dbf13de1339b5314d07e3ffa02 applies the ffmpeg setting to libx264, and changed all the libx264 ffpresets to specify +cgop so the x264 default remained the same.

Now that ffpresets aren't used and the new -preset (libx264 internal presets) is used, open_gop=1 is set for libx264 by default unless -flags +cgop is passed explicitly to ffmpeg.

I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, but it's a change in behavior and the intention of that commit was clearly to preserve the x264 default.
