@chapter Encoders
@c man begin ENCODERS

Encoders are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow the encoding of
multimedia streams.

When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported native encoders
are enabled by default. Encoders requiring an external library must be enabled
manually via the corresponding @code{--enable-lib} option. You can list all
available encoders using the configure option @code{--list-encoders}.

You can disable all the encoders with the configure option
@code{--disable-encoders} and selectively enable / disable single encoders
with the options @code{--enable-encoder=@var{ENCODER}} /
@code{--disable-encoder=@var{ENCODER}}.

The option @code{-encoders} of the ff* tools will display the list of
enabled encoders.

@c man end ENCODERS

@chapter Audio Encoders
@c man begin AUDIO ENCODERS

A description of some of the currently available audio encoders
follows.

@anchor{aacenc}
@section aac

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) encoder.

This encoder is the default AAC encoder, natively implemented into FFmpeg.

@subsection Options

@table @option
@item b
Set bit rate in bits/s. Setting this automatically activates constant bit rate
(CBR) mode. If this option is unspecified it is set to 128kbps.

@item q
Set quality for variable bit rate (VBR) mode. This option is valid only using
the @command{ffmpeg} command-line tool. For library interface users, use
@option{global_quality}.

@item cutoff
Set cutoff frequency. If unspecified will allow the encoder to dynamically
adjust the cutoff to improve clarity on low bitrates.

@item aac_coder
Set AAC encoder coding method. Possible values:

@table @samp
@item twoloop
Two loop searching (TLS) method. This is the default method.

This method first sets quantizers depending on band thresholds and then tries
to find an optimal combination by adding or subtracting a specific value from
all quantizers and adjusting some individual quantizer a little.  Will tune
itself based on whether @option{aac_is}, @option{aac_ms} and @option{aac_pns}
are enabled.

@item anmr
Average noise to mask ratio (ANMR) trellis-based solution.

This is an experimental coder which currently produces a lower quality, is more
unstable and is slower than the default twoloop coder but has potential.
Currently has no support for the @option{aac_is} or @option{aac_pns} options.
Not currently recommended.

@item fast
Constant quantizer method.

Uses a cheaper version of twoloop algorithm that doesn't try to do as many
clever adjustments. Worse with low bitrates (less than 64kbps), but is better
and much faster at higher bitrates.

@end table

@item aac_ms
Sets mid/side coding mode. The default value of "auto" will automatically use
M/S with bands which will benefit from such coding. Can be forced for all bands
using the value "enable", which is mainly useful for debugging or disabled using
"disable".

@item aac_is
Sets intensity stereo coding tool usage. By default, it's enabled and will
automatically toggle IS for similar pairs of stereo bands if it's beneficial.
Can be disabled for debugging by setting the value to "disable".

@item aac_pns
Uses perceptual noise substitution to replace low entropy high frequency bands
with imperceptible white noise during the decoding process. By default, it's
enabled, but can be disabled for debugging purposes by using "disable".

@item aac_tns
Enables the use of a multitap FIR filter which spans through the high frequency
bands to hide quantization noise during the encoding process and is reverted
by the decoder. As well as decreasing unpleasant artifacts in the high range
this also reduces the entropy in the high bands and allows for more bits to
be used by the mid-low bands. By default it's enabled but can be disabled for
debugging by setting the option to "disable".

@item aac_ltp
Enables the use of the long term prediction extension which increases coding
efficiency in very low bandwidth situations such as encoding of voice or
solo piano music by extending constant harmonic peaks in bands throughout
frames. This option is implied by profile:a aac_low and is incompatible with
aac_pred. Use in conjunction with @option{-ar} to decrease the samplerate.

@item aac_pred
Enables the use of a more traditional style of prediction where the spectral
coefficients transmitted are replaced by the difference of the current
coefficients minus the previous "predicted" coefficients. In theory and sometimes
in practice this can improve quality for low to mid bitrate audio.
This option implies the aac_main profile and is incompatible with aac_ltp.

@item profile
Sets the encoding profile, possible values:

@table @samp
@item aac_low
The default, AAC "Low-complexity" profile. Is the most compatible and produces
decent quality.

@item mpeg2_aac_low
Equivalent to @code{-profile:a aac_low -aac_pns 0}. PNS was introduced with the
MPEG4 specifications.

@item aac_ltp
Long term prediction profile, is enabled by and will enable the @option{aac_ltp}
option. Introduced in MPEG4.

@item aac_main
Main-type prediction profile, is enabled by and will enable the @option{aac_pred}
option. Introduced in MPEG2.

@end table
If this option is unspecified it is set to @samp{aac_low}.
@end table

@section ac3 and ac3_fixed

AC-3 audio encoders.

These encoders implement part of ATSC A/52:2010 and ETSI TS 102 366, as well as
the undocumented RealAudio 3 (a.k.a. dnet).

The @var{ac3} encoder uses floating-point math, while the @var{ac3_fixed}
encoder only uses fixed-point integer math. This does not mean that one is
always faster, just that one or the other may be better suited to a
particular system. The @var{ac3_fixed} encoder is not the default codec for
any of the output formats, so it must be specified explicitly using the option
@code{-acodec ac3_fixed} in order to use it.

@subsection AC-3 Metadata

The AC-3 metadata options are used to set parameters that describe the audio,
but in most cases do not affect the audio encoding itself. Some of the options
do directly affect or influence the decoding and playback of the resulting
bitstream, while others are just for informational purposes. A few of the
options will add bits to the output stream that could otherwise be used for
audio data, and will thus affect the quality of the output. Those will be
indicated accordingly with a note in the option list below.

These parameters are described in detail in several publicly-available
documents.

@table @option

@item -per_frame_metadata @var{boolean}
Allow Per-Frame Metadata. Specifies if the encoder should check for changing
metadata for each frame.
@table @option
@item 0
The metadata values set at initialization will be used for every frame in the
stream. (default)
@item 1
Metadata values can be changed before encoding each frame.
@end table

@end table

@subsubsection Downmix Levels

@table @option

@item -center_mixlev @var{level}
Center Mix Level. The amount of gain the decoder should apply to the center
channel when downmixing to stereo. This field will only be written to the
bitstream if a center channel is present. The value is specified as a scale
factor. There are 3 valid values:
@table @option
@item 0.707
Apply -3dB gain
@item 0.595
Apply -4.5dB gain (default)
@item 0.500
Apply -6dB gain
@end table

@item -surround_mixlev @var{level}
Surround Mix Level. The amount of gain the decoder should apply to the surround
channel(s) when downmixing to stereo. This field will only be written to the
bitstream if one or more surround channels are present. The value is specified
as a scale factor.  There are 3 valid values:
@table @option
@item 0.707
Apply -3dB gain
@item 0.500
Apply -6dB gain (default)
@item 0.000
Silence Surround Channel(s)
@end table

@end table

@subsubsection Audio Production Information
Audio Production Information is optional information describing the mixing
environment.  Either none or both of the fields are written to the bitstream.

@table @option

@item -mixing_level @var{number}
Mixing Level. Specifies peak sound pressure level (SPL) in the production
environment when the mix was mastered. Valid values are 80 to 111, or -1 for
unknown or not indicated. The default value is -1, but that value cannot be
used if the Audio Production Information is written to the bitstream. Therefore,
if the @code{room_type} option is not the default value, the @code{mixing_level}
option must not be -1.

@item -room_type @var{type}
Room Type. Describes the equalization used during the final mixing session at
the studio or on the dubbing stage. A large room is a dubbing stage with the
industry standard X-curve equalization; a small room has flat equalization.
This field will not be written to the bitstream if both the @code{mixing_level}
option and the @code{room_type} option have the default values.
@table @option
@item 0
@itemx notindicated
Not Indicated (default)
@item 1
@itemx large
Large Room
@item 2
@itemx small
Small Room
@end table

@end table

@subsubsection Other Metadata Options

@table @option

@item -copyright @var{boolean}
Copyright Indicator. Specifies whether a copyright exists for this audio.
@table @option
@item 0
@itemx off
No Copyright Exists (default)
@item 1
@itemx on
Copyright Exists
@end table

@item -dialnorm @var{value}
Dialogue Normalization. Indicates how far the average dialogue level of the
program is below digital 100% full scale (0 dBFS). This parameter determines a
level shift during audio reproduction that sets the average volume of the
dialogue to a preset level. The goal is to match volume level between program
sources. A value of -31dB will result in no volume level change, relative to
the source volume, during audio reproduction. Valid values are whole numbers in
the range -31 to -1, with -31 being the default.

@item -dsur_mode @var{mode}
Dolby Surround Mode. Specifies whether the stereo signal uses Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). This field will only be written to the bitstream if the audio
stream is stereo. Using this option does @b{NOT} mean the encoder will actually
apply Dolby Surround processing.
@table @option
@item 0
@itemx notindicated
Not Indicated (default)
@item 1
@itemx off
Not Dolby Surround Encoded
@item 2
@itemx on
Dolby Surround Encoded
@end table

@item -original @var{boolean}
Original Bit Stream Indicator. Specifies whether this audio is from the
original source and not a copy.
@table @option
@item 0
@itemx off
Not Original Source
@item 1
@itemx on
Original Source (default)
@end table

@end table

@subsection Extended Bitstream Information
The extended bitstream options are part of the Alternate Bit Stream Syntax as
specified in Annex D of the A/52:2010 standard. It is grouped into 2 parts.
If any one parameter in a group is specified, all values in that group will be
written to the bitstream.  Default values are used for those that are written
but have not been specified.  If the mixing levels are written, the decoder
will use these values instead of the ones specified in the @code{center_mixlev}
and @code{surround_mixlev} options if it supports the Alternate Bit Stream
Syntax.

@subsubsection Extended Bitstream Information - Part 1

@subsection Other AC-3 Encoding Options

@table @option

@item -stereo_rematrixing @var{boolean}
Stereo Rematrixing. Enables/Disables use of rematrixing for stereo input. This
is an optional AC-3 feature that increases quality by selectively encoding
the left/right channels as mid/side. This option is enabled by default, and it
is highly recommended that it be left as enabled except for testing purposes.

@item cutoff @var{frequency}
Set lowpass cutoff frequency. If unspecified, the encoder selects a default
determined by various other encoding parameters.

@end table

@subsection Floating-Point-Only AC-3 Encoding Options

These options are only valid for the floating-point encoder and do not exist
for the fixed-point encoder due to the corresponding features not being
implemented in fixed-point.

@table @option

@item -channel_coupling @var{boolean}
Enables/Disables use of channel coupling, which is an optional AC-3 feature
that increases quality by combining high frequency information from multiple
channels into a single channel. The per-channel high frequency information is
sent with less accuracy in both the frequency and time domains. This allows
more bits to be used for lower frequencies while preserving enough information
to reconstruct the high frequencies. This option is enabled by default for the
floating-point encoder and should generally be left as enabled except for
testing purposes or to increase encoding speed.
@table @option
@item -1
@itemx auto

@item -cpl_start_band @var{number}
Coupling Start Band. Sets the channel coupling start band, from 1 to 15. If a
value higher than the bandwidth is used, it will be reduced to 1 less than the
coupling end band. If @var{auto} is used, the start band will be determined by
the encoder based on the bit rate, sample rate, and channel layout. This option
has no effect if channel coupling is disabled.

@section opus

Opus encoder.

This is a native FFmpeg encoder for the Opus format. Currently its in development and
only implements the CELT part of the codec. Its quality is usually worse and at best
is equal to the libopus encoder.

@subsection Options

@table @option
@item b

@anchor{libfdk-aac-enc}
@section libfdk_aac

libfdk-aac AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) encoder wrapper.

The libfdk-aac library is based on the Fraunhofer FDK AAC code from
the Android project.

Requires the presence of the libfdk-aac headers and library during
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libfdk-aac}. The library is also incompatible with GPL,
so if you allow the use of GPL, you should configure with
@code{--enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libfdk-aac}.

This encoder has support for the AAC-HE profiles.

VBR encoding, enabled through the @option{vbr} or @option{flags
+qscale} options, is experimental and only works with some
combinations of parameters.

Support for encoding 7.1 audio is only available with libfdk-aac 0.1.3 or
higher.

For more information see the fdk-aac project at
@url{http://sourceforge.net/p/opencore-amr/fdk-aac/}.

@subsection Options

The following options are mapped on the shared FFmpeg codec options.

@table @option
@item b
Set bit rate in bits/s. If the bitrate is not explicitly specified, it
is automatically set to a suitable value depending on the selected
profile.

In case VBR mode is enabled the option is ignored.

@item ar
Set audio sampling rate (in Hz).

@item channels
Set the number of audio channels.

@item flags +qscale
Enable fixed quality, VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
Note that VBR is implicitly enabled when the @option{vbr} value is
positive.

@item cutoff
Set cutoff frequency. If not specified (or explicitly set to 0) it
will use a value automatically computed by the library. Default value
is 0.

@item profile
Set audio profile.

The following profiles are recognized:
@table @samp
@item aac_low

expressed in kilobits/s.

@item q (@emph{-V})
Set constant quality setting for VBR. This option is valid only
using the @command{ffmpeg} command-line tool. For library interface
users, use @option{global_quality}.

@item compression_level (@emph{-q})
Set algorithm quality. Valid arguments are integers in the 0-9 range,
with 0 meaning highest quality but slowest, and 9 meaning fastest
while producing the worst quality.

@item cutoff (@emph{--lowpass})

@section libopus

libopus Opus Interactive Audio Codec encoder wrapper.

Requires the presence of the libopus headers and library during
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libopus}.

@subsection Option Mapping

Most libopus options are modelled after the @command{opusenc} utility from
opus-tools. The following is an option mapping chart describing options
supported by the libopus wrapper, and their @command{opusenc}-equivalent
in parentheses.

@table @option

@item b (@emph{bitrate})
Set the bit rate in bits/s.  FFmpeg's @option{b} option is
expressed in bits/s, while @command{opusenc}'s @option{bitrate} in
kilobits/s.

@item vbr (@emph{vbr}, @emph{hard-cbr}, and @emph{cvbr})
Set VBR mode. The FFmpeg @option{vbr} option has the following
valid arguments, with the @command{opusenc} equivalent options
in parentheses:

@table @samp
@item off (@emph{hard-cbr})
Use constant bit rate encoding.

@item on (@emph{vbr})
Use variable bit rate encoding (the default).

@item constrained (@emph{cvbr})
Use constrained variable bit rate encoding.
@end table

@item compression_level (@emph{comp})
Set encoding algorithm complexity. Valid options are integers in
the 0-10 range. 0 gives the fastest encodes but lower quality, while 10
gives the highest quality but slowest encoding. The default is 10.

@item frame_duration (@emph{framesize})
Set maximum frame size, or duration of a frame in milliseconds. The
argument must be exactly the following: 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60. Smaller
frame sizes achieve lower latency but less quality at a given bitrate.
Sizes greater than 20ms are only interesting at fairly low bitrates.
The default is 20ms.

@item packet_loss (@emph{expect-loss})
Set expected packet loss percentage. The default is 0.

@item fec (@emph{n/a})
Enable inband forward error correction. @option{packet_loss} must be non-zero
to take advantage - frequency of FEC 'side-data' is proportional to expected packet loss.
Default is disabled.

@item application (N.A.)
Set intended application type. Valid options are listed below:

@table @samp
@item voip
Favor improved speech intelligibility.
@item audio
Favor faithfulness to the input (the default).
@item lowdelay
Restrict to only the lowest delay modes.
@end table

@item cutoff (N.A.)
Set cutoff bandwidth in Hz. The argument must be exactly one of the
following: 4000, 6000, 8000, 12000, or 20000, corresponding to
narrowband, mediumband, wideband, super wideband, and fullband
respectively. The default is 0 (cutoff disabled).

@item mapping_family (@emph{mapping_family})
Set channel mapping family to be used by the encoder. The default value of -1
uses mapping family 0 for mono and stereo inputs, and mapping family 1
otherwise. The default also disables the surround masking and LFE bandwidth
optimzations in libopus, and requires that the input contains 8 channels or
fewer.

Other values include 0 for mono and stereo, 1 for surround sound with masking
and LFE bandwidth optimizations, and 255 for independent streams with an
unspecified channel layout.

@item apply_phase_inv (N.A.) (requires libopus >= 1.2)
If set to 0, disables the use of phase inversion for intensity stereo,
improving the quality of mono downmixes, but slightly reducing normal stereo
quality. The default is 1 (phase inversion enabled).

@end table

@anchor{libshine}
@section libshine

Shine Fixed-Point MP3 encoder wrapper.

Shine is a fixed-point MP3 encoder. It has a far better performance on
platforms without an FPU, e.g. armel CPUs, and some phones and tablets.
However, as it is more targeted on performance than quality, it is not on par
with LAME and other production-grade encoders quality-wise. Also, according to
the project's homepage, this encoder may not be free of bugs as the code was
written a long time ago and the project was dead for at least 5 years.

This encoder only supports stereo and mono input. This is also CBR-only.

The original project (last updated in early 2007) is at
@url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/libshine-fxp/}. We only support the
updated fork by the Savonet/Liquidsoap project at @url{https://github.com/savonet/shine}.

Requires the presence of the libshine headers and library during
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libshine}.

option is expressed in kilobits/s. Default value is 128k.

@item q (@emph{-V})
Set quality for experimental VBR support. Maximum value range is
from -50 to 50, useful range is from -10 to 10. The higher the
value, the better the quality. This option is valid only using the
@command{ffmpeg} command-line tool. For library interface users,
use @option{global_quality}.

Set the mode of the resulting audio. Possible values:

@table @samp
@item auto
Choose mode automatically based on the input. This is the default.
@item stereo
Stereo

Enable energy levels extensions when set to 1. The default value is
0 (disabled).

@item error_protection (@emph{--protect})
Enable CRC error protection when set to 1. The default value is 0
(disabled).

@item copyright (@emph{--copyright})

the quality. The default value is @samp{3.0}.

This option is valid only using the @command{ffmpeg} command-line tool.
For library interface users, use @option{global_quality}.

@item cutoff (@emph{--advanced-encode-option lowpass_frequency=N})
Set cutoff bandwidth in Hz, a value of 0 disables cutoff. @command{oggenc}'s
related option is expressed in kHz. The default value is @samp{0} (cutoff

Specifies the number of chunks to split frames into, between 1 and 64. This
permits multithreaded decoding of large frames, potentially at the cost of
data-rate. The encoder may modify this value to divide frames evenly.

Default value is @var{1}.

@item compressor @var{integer}

@section jpeg2000

The native jpeg 2000 encoder is lossy by default, the @code{-q:v}
option can be used to set the encoding quality. Lossless encoding
can be selected with @code{-pred 1}.

@subsection Options

@table @option
@item format @var{integer}
Can be set to either @code{j2k} or @code{jp2} (the default) that
makes it possible to store non-rgb pix_fmts.

@item tile_width @var{integer}
Sets tile width. Range is 1 to 1073741824. Default is 256.

@item tile_height @var{integer}
Sets tile height. Range is 1 to 1073741824. Default is 256.

@item pred @var{integer}
Allows setting the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) type
@table @option
@item dwt97int (Lossy)
@item dwt53 (Lossless)
@end table
Default is @code{dwt97int}

@item sop @var{boolean}
Enable this to add SOP marker at the start of each packet. Disabled by default.

@item eph @var{boolean}
Enable this to add EPH marker at the end of each packet header. Disabled by default.

@item prog @var{integer}
Sets the progression order to be used by the encoder.
Possible values are:
@table @option
@item lrcp
@item rlcp
@item rpcl
@item pcrl
@item cprl
@end table
Set to @code{lrcp} by default.

@item layer_rates @var{string}
By default, when this option is not used, compression is done using the quality metric.
This option allows for compression using compression ratio. The compression ratio for each
level could be specified. The compression ratio of a layer @code{l} species the what ratio of
total file size is contained in the first @code{l} layers.

Example usage:

@example
ffmpeg -i input.bmp -c:v jpeg2000 -layer_rates "100,10,1" output.j2k
@end example

This would compress the image to contain 3 layers, where the data contained in the
first layer would be compressed by 1000 times, compressed by 100 in the first two layers,
and shall contain all data while using all 3 layers.

@end table

@section librav1e

@end table

@section libaom-av1

libaom AV1 encoder wrapper.

Requires the presence of the libaom headers and library during
configuration.  You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libaom}.

@subsection Options

The wrapper supports the following standard libavcodec options:

@table @option

@item b
Set bitrate target in bits/second.  By default this will use
variable-bitrate mode.  If @option{maxrate} and @option{minrate} are
also set to the same value then it will use constant-bitrate mode,
otherwise if @option{crf} is set as well then it will use
constrained-quality mode.

@item g keyint_min
Set key frame placement.  The GOP size sets the maximum distance between
key frames; if zero the output stream will be intra-only.  The minimum
distance is ignored unless it is the same as the GOP size, in which case
key frames will always appear at a fixed interval.  Not set by default,
so without this option the library has completely free choice about
where to place key frames.

@item qmin qmax
Set minimum/maximum quantisation values.  Valid range is from 0 to 63
(warning: this does not match the quantiser values actually used by AV1
- divide by four to map real quantiser values to this range).  Defaults
to min/max (no constraint).

@item minrate maxrate bufsize rc_init_occupancy
Set rate control buffering parameters.  Not used if not set - defaults
to unconstrained variable bitrate.

@item threads
Set the number of threads to use while encoding.  This may require the
@option{tiles} or @option{row-mt} options to also be set to actually
use the specified number of threads fully. Defaults to the number of
hardware threads supported by the host machine.

@item profile
Set the encoding profile.  Defaults to using the profile which matches
the bit depth and chroma subsampling of the input.

@end table

The wrapper also has some specific options:

@table @option

@item cpu-used
Set the quality/encoding speed tradeoff.  Valid range is from 0 to 8,
higher numbers indicating greater speed and lower quality.  The default
value is 1, which will be slow and high quality.

@item auto-alt-ref
Enable use of alternate reference frames.  Defaults to the internal
default of the library.

@item arnr-max-frames (@emph{frames})
Set altref noise reduction max frame count. Default is -1.

@item arnr-strength (@emph{strength})
Set altref noise reduction filter strength. Range is -1 to 6. Default is -1.

Disabled.

@item variance (@emph{1})
Variance-based.

@item complexity (@emph{2})
Complexity-based.

@item cyclic (@emph{3})

@end table

@item tune (@emph{tune})
Set the distortion metric the encoder is tuned with. Default is @code{psnr}.

@table @samp
@item psnr (@emph{0})

@item ssim (@emph{1})
@end table

@item lag-in-frames
Set the maximum number of frames which the encoder may keep in flight
at any one time for lookahead purposes.  Defaults to the internal
default of the library.

@item error-resilience
Enable error resilience features:
@table @option
@item default
Improve resilience against losses of whole frames.
@end table
Not enabled by default.

@item crf
Set the quality/size tradeoff for constant-quality (no bitrate target)
and constrained-quality (with maximum bitrate target) modes. Valid
range is 0 to 63, higher numbers indicating lower quality and smaller
output size.  Only used if set; by default only the bitrate target is
used.

@item static-thresh
Set a change threshold on blocks below which they will be skipped by
the encoder.  Defined in arbitrary units as a nonnegative integer,
defaulting to zero (no blocks are skipped).

@item drop-threshold
Set a threshold for dropping frames when close to rate control bounds.
Defined as a percentage of the target buffer - when the rate control
buffer falls below this percentage, frames will be dropped until it
has refilled above the threshold.  Defaults to zero (no frames are
dropped).

@item denoise-noise-level (@emph{level})
Amount of noise to be removed for grain synthesis. Grain synthesis is disabled if
this option is not set or set to 0.

@item denoise-block-size (@emph{pixels})
Block size used for denoising for grain synthesis. If not set, AV1 codec
uses the default value of 32.

@item undershoot-pct (@emph{pct})
Set datarate undershoot (min) percentage of the target bitrate. Range is -1 to 100.
Default is -1.

@item overshoot-pct (@emph{pct})
Set datarate overshoot (max) percentage of the target bitrate. Range is -1 to 1000.
Default is -1.

@item minsection-pct (@emph{pct})
Minimum percentage variation of the GOP bitrate from the target bitrate. If minsection-pct
is not set, the libaomenc wrapper computes it as follows: @code{(minrate * 100 / bitrate)}.
Range is -1 to 100. Default is -1 (unset).

@item maxsection-pct (@emph{pct})
Maximum percentage variation of the GOP bitrate from the target bitrate. If maxsection-pct
is not set, the libaomenc wrapper computes it as follows: @code{(maxrate * 100 / bitrate)}.
Range is -1 to 5000. Default is -1 (unset).

@item frame-parallel (@emph{boolean})
Enable frame parallel decodability features. Default is true.

@item tiles
Set the number of tiles to encode the input video with, as columns x
rows.  Larger numbers allow greater parallelism in both encoding and
decoding, but may decrease coding efficiency.  Defaults to the minimum
number of tiles required by the size of the input video (this is 1x1
(that is, a single tile) for sizes up to and including 4K).

@item tile-columns tile-rows
Set the number of tiles as log2 of the number of tile rows and columns.
Provided for compatibility with libvpx/VP9.

@end table

@section libjxl

libjxl JPEG XL encoder wrapper.

Requires the presence of the libjxl headers and library during
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libjxl}.

@subsection Options

The libjxl wrapper supports the following options:

@table @option

@item distance
Set the target Butteraugli distance. This is a quality setting: lower
distance yields higher quality, with distance=1.0 roughly comparable to
libjpeg Quality 90 for photographic content. Setting distance=0.0 yields
true lossless encoding. Valid values range between 0.0 and 15.0, and sane
values rarely exceed 5.0. Setting distance=0.1 usually attains
transparency for most input. The default is 1.0.

@item effort
Set the encoding effort used. Higher effort values produce more consistent
quality and usually produces a better quality/bpp curve, at the cost of
more CPU time required. Valid values range from 1 to 9, and the default is 7.

@item modular
Force the encoder to use Modular mode instead of choosing automatically. The
default is to use VarDCT for lossy encoding and Modular for lossless. VarDCT
is generally superior to Modular for lossy encoding but does not support
lossless encoding.

@end table

@section libkvazaar

Kvazaar H.265/HEVC encoder.

Requires the presence of the libkvazaar headers and library during
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with

configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libtheora}.

For more information about the libtheora project see
@url{http://www.theora.org/}.

@subsection Options

The following global options are mapped to internal libtheora options
which affect the quality and the bitrate of the encoded stream.

@table @option
@item b
Set the video bitrate in bit/s for CBR (Constant Bit Rate) mode.  In
case VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode is enabled this option is ignored.

@item flags
Used to enable constant quality mode (VBR) encoding through the
@option{qscale} flag, and to enable the @code{pass1} and @code{pass2}
modes.

@item g
Set the GOP size.

@item global_quality
Set the global quality as an integer in lambda units.

Only relevant when VBR mode is enabled with @code{flags +qscale}. The
value is converted to QP units by dividing it by @code{FF_QP2LAMBDA},
clipped in the [0 - 10] range, and then multiplied by 6.3 to get a
value in the native libtheora range [0-63]. A higher value corresponds
to a higher quality.

@item q
Enable VBR mode when set to a non-negative value, and set constant
quality value as a double floating point value in QP units.

The value is clipped in the [0-10] range, and then multiplied by 6.3
to get a value in the native libtheora range [0-63].

This option is valid only using the @command{ffmpeg} command-line
tool. For library interface users, use @option{global_quality}.
@end table

@section libwebp

libwebp WebP Image encoder wrapper

libwebp is Google's official encoder for WebP images. It can encode in either
lossy or lossless mode. Lossy images are essentially a wrapper around a VP8
frame. Lossless images are a separate codec developed by Google.

@subsection Pixel Format

Currently, libwebp only supports YUV420 for lossy and RGB for lossless due
to limitations of the format and libwebp. Alpha is supported for either mode.
Because of API limitations, if RGB is passed in when encoding lossy or YUV is
passed in for encoding lossless, the pixel format will automatically be
converted using functions from libwebp. This is not ideal and is done only for
convenience.

@subsection Options

@table @option

@item -lossless @var{boolean}
Enables/Disables use of lossless mode. Default is 0.

@item -compression_level @var{integer}
For lossy, this is a quality/speed tradeoff. Higher values give better quality
for a given size at the cost of increased encoding time. For lossless, this is
a size/speed tradeoff. Higher values give smaller size at the cost of increased
encoding time. More specifically, it controls the number of extra algorithms
and compression tools used, and varies the combination of these tools. This
maps to the @var{method} option in libwebp. The valid range is 0 to 6.
Default is 4.

@item -quality @var{float}
For lossy encoding, this controls image quality. For lossless encoding, this
controls the effort and time spent in compression.
Range is 0 to 100. Default is 75.

@item -preset @var{type}
Configuration preset. This does some automatic settings based on the general
type of the image.
@table @option
@item none
Do not use a preset.
@item default
Use the encoder default.
@item picture
Digital picture, like portrait, inner shot
@item photo
Outdoor photograph, with natural lighting
@item drawing
Hand or line drawing, with high-contrast details
@item icon
Small-sized colorful images
@item text

@section libx264, libx264rgb

x264 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder wrapper.

This encoder requires the presence of the libx264 headers and library
during configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libx264}.

libx264 supports an impressive number of features, including 8x8 and
4x4 adaptive spatial transform, adaptive B-frame placement, CAVLC/CABAC
entropy coding, interlacing (MBAFF), lossless mode, psy optimizations
for detail retention (adaptive quantization, psy-RD, psy-trellis).

Many libx264 encoder options are mapped to FFmpeg global codec
options, while unique encoder options are provided through private
options. Additionally the @option{x264opts} and @option{x264-params}
private options allows one to pass a list of key=value tuples as accepted
by the libx264 @code{x264_param_parse} function.

The x264 project website is at
@url{http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html}.

The libx264rgb encoder is the same as libx264, except it accepts packed RGB
pixel formats as input instead of YUV.

@subsection Supported Pixel Formats

x264 supports 8- to 10-bit color spaces. The exact bit depth is controlled at
x264's configure time.

@subsection Options

The following options are supported by the libx264 wrapper. The
@command{x264}-equivalent options or values are listed in parentheses
for easy migration.

To reduce the duplication of documentation, only the private options

duplicated for compatibility with the Libav fork.

For example to specify libx264 encoding options with @command{ffmpeg}:
@example
ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:v libx264 -x264-params level=30:bframes=0:weightp=0:\

@section ProRes

Apple ProRes encoder.

FFmpeg contains 2 ProRes encoders, the prores-aw and prores-ks encoder.
The used encoder can be chosen with the @code{-vcodec} option.

@subsection Private Options for prores-ks

@table @option
@item profile @var{integer}
Select the ProRes profile to encode
@table @samp
@item proxy
@item lt
@item standard
@item hq
@item 4444
@item 4444xq
@end table

@item quant_mat @var{integer}
Select quantization matrix.
@table @samp
@item auto
@item default
@item proxy
@item lt
@item standard
@item hq
@end table
If set to @var{auto}, the matrix matching the profile will be picked.
If not set, the matrix providing the highest quality, @var{default}, will be
picked.

@item bits_per_mb @var{integer}
How many bits to allot for coding one macroblock. Different profiles use
between 200 and 2400 bits per macroblock, the maximum is 8000.

@item mbs_per_slice @var{integer}
Number of macroblocks in each slice (1-8); the default value (8)
should be good in almost all situations.

@item vendor @var{string}
Override the 4-byte vendor ID.
A custom vendor ID like @var{apl0} would claim the stream was produced by
the Apple encoder.

@item alpha_bits @var{integer}
Specify number of bits for alpha component.
Possible values are @var{0}, @var{8} and @var{16}.
Use @var{0} to disable alpha plane coding.

@end table

@subsection Speed considerations

In the default mode of operation the encoder has to honor frame constraints
(i.e. not produce frames with size bigger than requested) while still making
output picture as good as possible.
A frame containing a lot of small details is harder to compress and the encoder
would spend more time searching for appropriate quantizers for each slice.

Setting a higher @option{bits_per_mb} limit will improve the speed.

For the fastest encoding speed set the @option{qscale} parameter (4 is the
recommended value) and do not set a size constraint.

@section QSV Encoders

The family of Intel QuickSync Video encoders (MPEG-2, H.264, HEVC, JPEG/MJPEG,
VP9, AV1)

@subsection Ratecontrol Method
The ratecontrol method is selected as follows:
@itemize @bullet
@item
When @option{global_quality} is specified, a quality-based mode is used.
Specifically this means either
@itemize @minus
@item
@var{CQP} - constant quantizer scale, when the @option{qscale} codec flag is
also set (the @option{-qscale} ffmpeg option).

@item
@var{LA_ICQ} - intelligent constant quality with lookahead, when the
@option{look_ahead} option is also set.

@item
@var{ICQ} -- intelligent constant quality otherwise. For the ICQ modes, global
quality range is 1 to 51, with 1 being the best quality.
@end itemize

@item
Otherwise, a bitrate-based mode is used. For all of those, you should specify at
least the desired average bitrate with the @option{b} option.
@itemize @minus
@item
@var{LA} - VBR with lookahead, when the @option{look_ahead} option is specified.

@item
@var{VCM} - video conferencing mode, when the @option{vcm} option is set.

@item
@var{CBR} - constant bitrate, when @option{maxrate} is specified and equal to
the average bitrate.

@item
@var{VBR} - variable bitrate, when @option{maxrate} is specified, but is higher
than the average bitrate.

@item
@var{AVBR} - average VBR mode, when @option{maxrate} is not specified, both
@option{avbr_accuracy} and @option{avbr_convergence} are set to non-zero. This
mode is available for H264 and HEVC on Windows.
@end itemize
@end itemize

Note that depending on your system, a different mode than the one you specified
may be selected by the encoder. Set the verbosity level to @var{verbose} or
higher to see the actual settings used by the QSV runtime.

All encoders support the following options:
@table @option
@item low_power
Some drivers/platforms offer a second encoder for some codecs intended to use
less power than the default encoder; setting this option will attempt to use
that encoder.  Note that it may support a reduced feature set, so some other
options may not be available in this mode.

@item idr_interval
Set the number of normal intra frames between full-refresh (IDR) frames in
open-GOP mode.  The intra frames are still IRAPs, but will not include global
headers and may have non-decodable leading pictures.

@item b_depth
Set the B-frame reference depth.  When set to one (the default), all B-frames
will refer only to P- or I-frames.  When set to greater values multiple layers
of B-frames will be present, frames in each layer only referring to frames in
higher layers.

@item async_depth
Maximum processing parallelism. Increase this to improve single channel
performance. This option doesn't work if driver doesn't implement vaSyncBuffer
function. Please make sure there are enough hw_frames allocated if a large
number of async_depth is used.

@item max_frame_size
Set the allowed max size in bytes for each frame. If the frame size exceeds
the limitation, encoder will adjust the QP value to control the frame size.
Invalid in CQP rate control mode.

@item rc_mode

@item aud
Include access unit delimiters in the stream (not included by default).

@item tier
Set @emph{general_tier_flag}.  This may affect the level chosen for the stream
if it is not explicitly specified.

@item sei
Set SEI message types to include.
Some combination of the following values:
@table @samp
@item hdr
Include HDR metadata if the input frames have it
(@emph{mastering_display_colour_volume} and @emph{content_light_level}
messages).
@end table

@item tiles
Set the number of tiles to encode the input video with, as columns x rows.
Larger numbers allow greater parallelism in both encoding and decoding, but
may decrease coding efficiency.

@end table

@item mjpeg_vaapi
Only baseline DCT encoding is supported.  The encoder always uses the standard
quantisation and huffman tables - @option{global_quality} scales the standard
quantisation table (range 1-100).

For YUV, 4:2:0, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 subsampling modes are supported.  RGB is also
supported, and will create an RGB JPEG.

@table @option
@item jfif
Include JFIF header in each frame (not included by default).
@item huffman
Include standard huffman tables (on by default).  Turning this off will save
a few hundred bytes in each output frame, but may lose compatibility with some
JPEG decoders which don't fully handle MJPEG.
@end table

@item mpeg2_vaapi
@option{profile} and @option{level} set the value of @emph{profile_and_level_indication}.

@item vp8_vaapi
B-frames are not supported.

@option{global_quality} sets the @emph{q_idx} used for non-key frames (range 0-127).

@table @option
@item loop_filter_level
@item loop_filter_sharpness
Manually set the loop filter parameters.
@end table

@item vp9_vaapi
@option{global_quality} sets the @emph{q_idx} used for P-frames (range 0-255).

@table @option
@item loop_filter_level
@item loop_filter_sharpness
Manually set the loop filter parameters.
@end table

B-frames are supported, but the output stream is always in encode order rather than display
order.  If B-frames are enabled, it may be necessary to use the @option{vp9_raw_reorder}
bitstream filter to modify the output stream to display frames in the correct order.

Only normal frames are produced - the @option{vp9_superframe} bitstream filter may be
required to produce a stream usable with all decoders.

@section vbn

Vizrt Binary Image encoder.

This format is used by the broadcast vendor Vizrt for quick texture streaming.
Advanced features of the format such as LZW compression of texture data or
generation of mipmaps are not supported.

@subsection Options

@table @option
@item format @var{string}
Sets the texture compression used by the VBN file. Can be @var{dxt1},
@var{dxt5} or @var{raw}. Default is @var{dxt5}.
@end table

@section vc2

SMPTE VC-2 (previously BBC Dirac Pro). This codec was primarily aimed at
professional broadcasting but since it supports yuv420, yuv422 and yuv444 at
8 (limited range or full range), 10 or 12 bits, this makes it suitable for
other tasks which require low overhead and low compression (like screen
recording).

@subsection Options

@table @option

@item b
Sets target video bitrate. Usually that's around 1:6 of the uncompressed
video bitrate (e.g. for 1920x1080 50fps yuv422p10 that's around 400Mbps). Higher
values (close to the uncompressed bitrate) turn on lossless compression mode.

@item field_order
Enables field coding when set (e.g. to tt - top field first) for interlaced
inputs. Should increase compression with interlaced content as it splits the
fields and encodes each separately.

@item wavelet_depth
Sets the total amount of wavelet transforms to apply, between 1 and 5 (default).
Lower values reduce compression and quality. Less capable decoders may not be
able to handle values of @option{wavelet_depth} over 3.

@item wavelet_type
Sets the transform type. Currently only @var{5_3} (LeGall) and @var{9_7}
(Deslauriers-Dubuc)
are implemented, with 9_7 being the one with better compression and thus
is the default.

@item slice_width
@item slice_height
Sets the slice size for each slice. Larger values result in better compression.
For compatibility with other more limited decoders use @option{slice_width} of
32 and @option{slice_height} of 8.

@item tolerance
Sets the undershoot tolerance of the rate control system in percent. This is
to prevent an expensive search from being run.

@item qm
Sets the quantization matrix preset to use by default or when @option{wavelet_depth}
is set to 5
@itemize @minus
@item
@var{default}
Uses the default quantization matrix from the specifications, extended with
values for the fifth level. This provides a good balance between keeping detail
and omitting artifacts.

@item
@var{flat}
Use a completely zeroed out quantization matrix. This increases PSNR but might
reduce perception. Use in bogus benchmarks.

@item
@var{color}
Reduces detail but attempts to preserve color at extremely low bitrates.

@section dvdsub

This codec encodes the bitmap subtitle format that is used in DVDs.
Typically they are stored in VOBSUB file pairs (*.idx + *.sub),
and they can also be used in Matroska files.

@subsection Options

@table @option
@item palette
Specify the global palette used by the bitmaps.

The format for this option is a string containing 16 24-bits hexadecimal
numbers (without 0x prefix) separated by commas, for example @code{0d00ee,
ee450d, 101010, eaeaea, 0ce60b, ec14ed, ebff0b, 0d617a, 7b7b7b, d1d1d1,
7b2a0e, 0d950c, 0f007b, cf0dec, cfa80c, 7c127b}.

@item even_rows_fix
When set to 1, enable a work-around that makes the number of pixel rows
even in all subtitles.  This fixes a problem with some players that
cut off the bottom row if the number is odd.  The work-around just adds
a fully transparent row if needed.  The overhead is low, typically
one byte per subtitle on average.

By default, this work-around is disabled.
