If you build from source, you should certainly use Git head.

What do they do? If they are useful, submitting them to the devel
mailing-list would be nice, and would probably also reduce the maintenance
burden for you.

I do not think you need all these --enable since you did not --disable them
before.

Normal.

Normal: amovie only reads audio, that is what the "a" means.

Also, note that the aac encoder has very poor quality for bitrate, that is
the reason "-strict experimental" is needed.

That is what "-an" does, I guess it crept there during some testing and you
forgot to remove it.

Also, you should consider using -filter_complex for that: using movie and
amovie will result in the file being read twice.
