@chapter Format Options
@c man begin FORMAT OPTIONS
The libavformat library provides some generic global options, which
can be set on all the muxers and demuxers. In addition each muxer or
demuxer may support so-called private options, which are specific for
that component.
Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
@code{AVFormatContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
for programmatic use.
The list of supported options follows:
@table @option
@item avioflags @var{flags} (@emph{input/output})
Possible values:
@table @samp
@item direct
Reduce buffering.
@end table
@item probesize @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Set probing size in bytes, i.e. the size of the data to analyze to get
stream information. A higher value will allow to detect more
information in case it is dispersed into the stream, but will increase
latency. Must be an integer not lesser than 32. It is 5000000 by default.
@item packetsize @var{integer} (@emph{output})
Set packet size.
@item fflags @var{flags} (@emph{input/output})
Set format flags.
Possible values:
@table @samp
@item ignidx
Ignore index.
@item genpts
Generate PTS.
@item nofillin
Do not fill in missing values that can be exactly calculated.
@item noparse
Disable AVParsers, this needs @code{+nofillin} too.
@item igndts
Ignore DTS.
@item discardcorrupt
Discard corrupted frames.
@item sortdts
Try to interleave output packets by DTS.
@item keepside
Do not merge side data.
@item latm
Enable RTP MP4A-LATM payload.
@item nobuffer
Reduce the latency introduced by optional buffering
@item bitexact
Only write platform-, build- and time-independent data.
This ensures that file and data checksums are reproducible and match between
platforms. Its primary use is for regression testing.
@end table
@item seek2any @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Allow seeking to non-keyframes on demuxer level when supported if set to 1.
Default is 0.
@item analyzeduration @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Specify how many microseconds are analyzed to probe the input. A
higher value will allow to detect more accurate information, but will
increase latency. It defaults to 5,000,000 microseconds = 5 seconds.
@item cryptokey @var{hexadecimal string} (@emph{input})
Set decryption key.
@item indexmem @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Set max memory used for timestamp index (per stream).
@item rtbufsize @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Set max memory used for buffering real-time frames.
@item fdebug @var{flags} (@emph{input/output})
Print specific debug info.
Possible values:
@table @samp
@item ts
@end table
@item max_delay @var{integer} (@emph{input/output})
Set maximum muxing or demuxing delay in microseconds.
@item fpsprobesize @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Set number of frames used to probe fps.
@item audio_preload @var{integer} (@emph{output})
Set microseconds by which audio packets should be interleaved earlier.
@item chunk_duration @var{integer} (@emph{output})
Set microseconds for each chunk.
@item chunk_size @var{integer} (@emph{output})
Set size in bytes for each chunk.
@item err_detect, f_err_detect @var{flags} (@emph{input})
Set error detection flags. @code{f_err_detect} is deprecated and
should be used only via the @command{ffmpeg} tool.
Possible values:
@table @samp
@item crccheck
Verify embedded CRCs.
@item bitstream
Detect bitstream specification deviations.
@item buffer
Detect improper bitstream length.
@item explode
Abort decoding on minor error detection.
@item careful
Consider things that violate the spec and have not been seen in the
wild as errors.
@item compliant
Consider all spec non compliancies as errors.
@item aggressive
Consider things that a sane encoder should not do as an error.
@end table
@item use_wallclock_as_timestamps @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Use wallclock as timestamps.
@item avoid_negative_ts @var{integer} (@emph{output})
Possible values:
@table @samp
@item make_non_negative
Shift timestamps to make them non-negative.
Also note that this affects only leading negative timestamps, and not
non-monotonic negative timestamps.
@item make_zero
Shift timestamps so that the first timestamp is 0.
@item auto (default)
Enables shifting when required by the target format.
@item disabled
Disables shifting of timestamp.
@end table
When shifting is enabled, all output timestamps are shifted by the
same amount. Audio, video, and subtitles desynching and relative
timestamp differences are preserved compared to how they would have
been without shifting.
@item skip_initial_bytes @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Set number of bytes to skip before reading header and frames if set to 1.
Default is 0.
@item correct_ts_overflow @var{integer} (@emph{input})
Correct single timestamp overflows if set to 1. Default is 1.
@item flush_packets @var{integer} (@emph{output})
Flush the underlying I/O stream after each packet. Default 1 enables it, and
has the effect of reducing the latency; 0 disables it and may slightly
increase performance in some cases.
@item output_ts_offset @var{offset} (@emph{output})
Set the output time offset.
@var{offset} must be a time duration specification,
see @ref{time duration syntax,,the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}.
The offset is added by the muxer to the output timestamps.
Specifying a positive offset means that the corresponding streams are
delayed bt the time duration specified in @var{offset}. Default value
is @code{0} (meaning that no offset is applied).
@item format_whitelist @var{list} (@emph{input})
"," separated List of allowed demuxers. By default all are allowed.
@item dump_separator @var{string} (@emph{input})
Separator used to separate the fields printed on the command line about the
Stream parameters.
For example to separate the fields with newlines and indention:
@example
ffprobe -dump_separator "
" -i ~/videos/matrixbench_mpeg2.mpg
@end example
@end table
@c man end FORMAT OPTIONS
@anchor{Format stream specifiers}
@section Format stream specifiers
Format stream specifiers allow selection of one or more streams that
match specific properties.
Possible forms of stream specifiers are:
@table @option
@item @var{stream_index}
Matches the stream with this index.
@item @var{stream_type}[:@var{stream_index}]
@var{stream_type} is one of following: 'v' for video, 'a' for audio,
's' for subtitle, 'd' for data, and 't' for attachments. If
@var{stream_index} is given, then it matches the stream number
@var{stream_index} of this type. Otherwise, it matches all streams of
this type.
@item p:@var{program_id}[:@var{stream_index}]
If @var{stream_index} is given, then it matches the stream with number
@var{stream_index} in the program with the id
@var{program_id}. Otherwise, it matches all streams in the program.
@item #@var{stream_id}
Matches the stream by a format-specific ID.
@end table
The exact semantics of stream specifiers is defined by the
@code{avformat_match_stream_specifier()} function declared in the
@file{libavformat/avformat.h} header.
