@chapter Description

@c man begin DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
This document describes the codecs (decoders and encoders) provided by
|
|
the libavcodec library.

@chapter Codec Options
|
|
@c man begin CODEC OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
libavcodec provides some generic global options, which can be set on
|
|
all the encoders and decoders. In addition each codec may support
|
|
so-called private options, which are specific for a given codec.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, a global option may only affect a specific kind of codec,
|
|
and may be unsensical or ignored by another, so you need to be aware
|
|
of the meaning of the specified options. Also some options are
|
|
meant only for decoding or encoding.
|
|
|
|
Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
|
|
FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
|
|
@code{AVCodecContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
|
|
for programmatic use.
|
|
|
|
The list of supported options follow:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item b @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio,video})
|
|
Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.
|
|
|
|
@item ab @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio})
|
|
Set audio bitrate (in bits/s). Default value is 128K.
|
|
|
|
@item bt @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
|
|
Set video bitrate tolerance (in bits/s). In 1-pass mode, bitrate
|
|
tolerance specifies how far ratecontrol is willing to deviate from the
|
|
target average bitrate value. This is not related to min/max
|
|
bitrate. Lowering tolerance too much has an adverse effect on quality.
