v1.1 indeed changed... from the main project page
(http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tcforge/), you can browse the
source directory and find:

http://hg.berlios.de/repos/tcforge/file/d6956f8dca76/docs/CHANGES-1.0-1.1

which shows
 --color [removed]
          is gone, replaced by --log_no_color.

The -1 argument is mentioned as well, although by a different name of
"--use_rgb". This has been replaced by "--video_format rgb24"

Of course, neither of these "new" command line options are available
on the older version. Until this gets straightened out, I would
suggest trying to fall back to the jaunty version of transcode if you
can't use the "perfect" option.

An alternative to falling back is to rename transcode as
transcode.real and then create an executable transcode wrapper script
which removes the --color option (isn't really needed) and replaces
the " -1 " parameter with " --video_format rgb24 ".
