Sounds like your old version of ffmpeg was one that used kbps for
bitrate values and your new one is one that uses bps.  And, you've got
an nuvexport that hasn't been updated.  Probably just need to update
your nuvexport (assuming a 0.20-fixes-compatible version of nuvexport
has been updated for the change).

If there isn't one that works for your version of Myth, look at:
