# encoding profile file #
#########################
#
# Usage of this file: copy/symlink it to a fixed location, and add
#   include = /path/to/this/encoding-example-profiles.conf
# to your ~/.mpv/config
#
# Then, list all profiles by
#   mpv -profile help | grep enc-
#
# The following kinds of encoding profiles exist:
#   enc-a-*:  initialize an audio codec including good defaults
#   enc-v-*:  initialize a video codec including good defaults
#   enc-f-*:  initialize a file format including good defaults, including
#             selecting and initializing a good audio and video codec
#   enc-to-*: load known good settings for a target device; this typically
#             includes selecting an enc-f-* profile, then adjusting some
#             settings like frame rate, resolution and codec parameters
#
# AFTER including a profile of these, you can of course still change
# options, or even switch to another codec.
#
# You can view the exact options a profile sets by
#   mpv -show-profile enc-to-bb-9000
#
# Examples:
#   mpv -profile enc-to-dvdpal -o outfile.mpg infile.mkv
#   mpv -profile enc-f-avi -ofps 30 -o outfile.avi infile.mkv
#   mpv -profile enc-v-mpeg4 -ovcopts-add qscale=7 -profile enc-a-mp3 -oacopts-add b=320k -o outfile.avi infile.mkv
