<h1 class="chapter"><a href="ffmpeg-codecs.html#toc-Description">1 Description</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This document describes the codecs (decoders and encoders) provided by
|
|
the libavcodec library.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|

<p><a name="codec_002doptions"></a>

|
|
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="ffmpeg-codecs.html#toc-Codec-Options">2 Codec Options</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Sometimes, a global option may only affect a specific kind of codec,
|
|
and may be nonsensical 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Options may be set by specifying -<var>option</var> <var>value</var> in the
|
|
FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
|
|
<code>AVCodecContext</code> options or using the ‘<tt>libavutil/opt.h</tt>’ API
|
|
for programmatic use.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The list of supported options follow:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt>‘<samp>b <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,audio,video</em>)</samp>’</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>‘<samp>ab <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,audio</em>)</samp>’</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Set audio bitrate (in bits/s). Default value is 128K.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>‘<samp>bt <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,video</em>)</samp>’</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>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.

<p>Decoders are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow the decoding of
|
|
multimedia streams.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported native decoders
|
|
are enabled by default. Decoders requiring an external library must be enabled
|
|
manually via the corresponding <code>--enable-lib</code> option. You can list all
|
|
available decoders using the configure option <code>--list-decoders</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can disable all the decoders with the configure option
|
|
<code>--disable-decoders</code> and selectively enable / disable single decoders
|
|
with the options <code>--enable-decoder=<var>DECODER</var></code> /
|
|
<code>--disable-decoder=<var>DECODER</var></code>.
|
|
</p>
|

<p>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</code>
|
|
and <code>surround_mixlev</code> options if it supports the Alternate Bit Stream
|
|
Syntax.

<p>libfdk-aac AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) encoder wrapper.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The libfdk-aac library is based on the Fraunhofer FDK AAC code from
|
|
the Android project.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Requires the presence of the libfdk-aac headers and library during
|
|
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
|
|
<code>--enable-libfdk-aac</code>. 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</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This encoder is considered to produce output on par or worse at 128kbps to the
|
|
<a href="#aacenc">the native FFmpeg AAC encoder</a> but can often produce better
|
|
sounding audio at identical or lower bitrates and has support for the
|
|
AAC-HE profiles.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>VBR encoding, enabled through the ‘<samp>vbr</samp>’ or ‘<samp>flags
|
|
+qscale</samp>’ options, is experimental and only works with some
|
|
combinations of parameters.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Support for encoding 7.1 audio is only available with libfdk-aac 0.1.3 or
|
|
higher.

<p>Shine Fixed-Point MP3 encoder wrapper.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This encoder only supports stereo and mono input. This is also CBR-only.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The original project (last updated in early 2007) is at
|
|
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/libshine-fxp/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/libshine-fxp/</a>. We only support the

<p>libwebp WebP Image encoder wrapper
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.

|
|
<h3 class="subsection"><a href="ffmpeg-codecs.html#toc-Pixel-Format">9.7.1 Pixel Format</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.

|
|
|
|
<p>x264 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder wrapper.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This encoder requires the presence of the libx264 headers and library
|
|
during configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
|
|
<code>--enable-libx264</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Many libx264 encoder options are mapped to FFmpeg global codec
|
|
options, while unique encoder options are provided through private
|
|
options. Additionally the ‘<samp>x264opts</samp>’ and ‘<samp>x264-params</samp>’
|
|
private options allows one to pass a list of key=value tuples as accepted
|
|
by the libx264 <code>x264_param_parse</code> function.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The x264 project website is at
|
|
<a href="http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html">http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The libx264rgb encoder is the same as libx264, except it accepts packed RGB
|
|
pixel formats as input instead of YUV.

|
|
|
|
<p>x264 supports 8- to 10-bit color spaces. The exact bit depth is controlled at
|
|
x264’s configure time. FFmpeg only supports one bit depth in one particular
|
|
build. In other words, it is not possible to build one FFmpeg with multiple
|
|
versions of x264 with different bit depths.

<p>The following options are supported by the libx264 wrapper. The
|
|
<code>x264</code>-equivalent options or values are listed in parentheses

for easy migration.
|

</p>
|
|
<p>To reduce the duplication of documentation, only the private options

and some others requiring special attention are documented here. For

<h3 class="subsection"><a href="ffmpeg-codecs.html#toc-Speed-considerations">9.13.2 Speed considerations</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Setting a higher ‘<samp>bits_per_mb</samp>’ limit will improve the speed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For the fastest encoding speed set the ‘<samp>qscale</samp>’ parameter (4 is the
|
|
recommended value) and do not set a size constraint.

|
|
|
<p>The family of Intel QuickSync Video encoders (MPEG-2, H.264 and HEVC)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The ratecontrol method is selected as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
When ‘<samp>global_quality</samp>’ is specified, a quality-based mode is used.
|
|
Specifically this means either
|
|
<ul class="no-bullet">
|
|
<li>-
|
|
<var>CQP</var> - constant quantizer scale, when the ‘<samp>qscale</samp>’ codec flag is

|
also set (the ‘<samp>-qscale</samp>’ ffmpeg option).
|
|
|
|
</li><li>-
|

<var>LA_ICQ</var> - intelligent constant quality with lookahead, when the
|
|
‘<samp>look_ahead</samp>’ option is also set.
|
|
|
|
</li><li>-
|
|
<var>ICQ</var> – intelligent constant quality otherwise.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
</li><li>
|
|
Otherwise, a bitrate-based mode is used. For all of those, you should specify at
|
|
least the desired average bitrate with the ‘<samp>b</samp>’ option.
|
|
<ul class="no-bullet">
|
|
<li>-
|
|
<var>LA</var> - VBR with lookahead, when the ‘<samp>look_ahead</samp>’ option is specified.
|
|
|
|
</li><li>-
|
|
<var>VCM</var> - video conferencing mode, when the ‘<samp>vcm</samp>’ option is set.
|
|
|
|
</li><li>-
|
|
<var>CBR</var> - constant bitrate, when ‘<samp>maxrate</samp>’ is specified and equal to
|
|
the average bitrate.
|
|
|
|
</li><li>-
|
|
<var>VBR</var> - variable bitrate, when ‘<samp>maxrate</samp>’ is specified, but is higher
|
|
than the average bitrate.
|
|
|
|
</li><li>-
|
|
<var>AVBR</var> - average VBR mode, when ‘<samp>maxrate</samp>’ is not specified. This mode
|
|
is further configured by the ‘<samp>avbr_accuracy</samp>’ and
|
|
‘<samp>avbr_convergence</samp>’ options.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>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</var> or
|
|
higher to see the actual settings used by the QSV runtime.
|
|
</p>

<p>Additional libavcodec global options are mapped to MSDK options as follows:

‘<samp>g/gop_size</samp>’ -> ‘<samp>GopPicSize</samp>’

|
|
‘<samp>cgop/CLOSED_GOP</samp>’ codec flag -> ‘<samp>GopOptFlag</samp>’
|
|
|
|
</li><li>
|
|
For the <var>CQP</var> mode, the ‘<samp>i_qfactor/i_qoffset</samp>’ and
|
|
‘<samp>b_qfactor/b_qoffset</samp>’ set the difference between <var>QPP</var> and <var>QPI</var>,
