@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{-codecs} of the ff* tools will display the list of
|
|
enabled encoders.

@chapter Audio Encoders
|
|
@c man begin AUDIO ENCODERS
|
|
|
|
A description of some of the currently available audio encoders
|
|
follows.
|
|
|
|
@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 floating-point encoder will generally produce better
|
|
quality audio for a given bitrate. 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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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

These options are only valid for the floating-point encoder and do not exist

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.

@section libx264
|
|
|
|
H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 format supported through
|
|
libx264.
|
|
|
|
Requires the presence of the libx264 headers and library during
|
|
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
|
|
@code{--enable-libx264}.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item preset @var{preset_name}
|
|
Set the encoding preset.
|
|
|
|
@item tune @var{tune_name}
|
|
Tune the encoding params.
|
|
|
|
@item fastfirstpass @var{bool}
|
|
Use fast settings when encoding first pass, default value is 1.
|
|
|
|
@item profile @var{profile_name}
|
|
Set profile restrictions.
|
|
|
|
@item level @var{level}
|
|
Specify level (as defined by Annex A).
|
|
Deprecated in favor of @var{x264opts}.
|
|
|
|
@item passlogfile @var{filename}
|
|
Specify filename for 2 pass stats.
|
|
Deprecated in favor of @var{x264opts} (see @var{stats} libx264 option).
|
|
|
|
@item wpredp @var{wpred_type}
|
|
Specify Weighted prediction for P-frames.
|
|
Deprecated in favor of @var{x264opts} (see @var{weightp} libx264 option).
|
|
|
|
@item x264opts @var{options}
|
|
Allow to set any x264 option, see x264 --fullhelp for a list.
|
|
|
|
@var{options} is a list of @var{key}=@var{value} couples separated by
|
|
":".
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
For example to specify libx264 encoding options with @command{ffmpeg}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i foo.mpg -vcodec libx264 -x264opts keyint=123:min-keyint=20 -an out.mkv
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
@section libxvid
|
|
|
|
Xvid MPEG-4 Part 2 encoder wrapper.
|
|
|
|
This encoder requires the presence of the libxvidcore headers and library
|
|
during configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
|
|
@code{--enable-libxvid --enable-gpl}.
|
|
|
|
The native @code{mpeg4} encoder supports the MPEG-4 Part 2 format, so
|
|
users can encode to this format without this library.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
The following options are supported by the libxvid wrapper. Some of
|
|
the following options are listed but are not documented, and
|
|
correspond to shared codec options. The other shared options
|
|
which are not listed have no effect for the libxvid encoder.
