<p>This document describes the codecs (decoders and encoders) provided by
the libavcodec library.
</p>
<span id="codec_002doptions"></span><a name="Codec-Options"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">2 Codec Options<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Codec-Options" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Codec-Options" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<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 <samp>libavutil/opt.h</samp> API
for programmatic use.
</p>
<p>The list of supported options follow:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>b <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,audio,video</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>ab <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,audio</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set audio bitrate (in bits/s). Default value is 128K.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>bt <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,video</em>)</samp></span></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>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>flags <var>flags</var> (<em>decoding/encoding,audio,video,subtitles</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set generic flags.
</p>
<p>Possible values:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><span>‘<samp>mv4</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use four motion vector by macroblock (mpeg4).
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>qpel</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use 1/4 pel motion compensation.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>loop</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use loop filter.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>qscale</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use fixed qscale.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>pass1</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use internal 2pass ratecontrol in first pass mode.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>pass2</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use internal 2pass ratecontrol in second pass mode.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>gray</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Only decode/encode grayscale.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>psnr</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Set error[?] variables during encoding.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>truncated</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Input bitstream might be randomly truncated.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>drop_changed</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Don’t output frames whose parameters differ from first decoded frame in stream.
Error AVERROR_INPUT_CHANGED is returned when a frame is dropped.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>ildct</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use interlaced DCT.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>low_delay</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Force low delay.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>global_header</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Place global headers in extradata instead of every keyframe.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>bitexact</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Only write platform-, build- and time-independent data. (except (I)DCT).
This ensures that file and data checksums are reproducible and match between
platforms. Its primary use is for regression testing.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>aic</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Apply H263 advanced intra coding / mpeg4 ac prediction.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>ilme</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Apply interlaced motion estimation.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>cgop</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Use closed gop.
</p></dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>output_corrupt</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Output even potentially corrupted frames.
</p></dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>time_base <var>rational number</var></samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set codec time base.
</p>
<p>It is the fundamental unit of time (in seconds) in terms of which
frame timestamps are represented. For fixed-fps content, timebase
should be <code>1 / frame_rate</code> and timestamp increments should be
identically 1.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>g <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,video</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set the group of picture (GOP) size. Default value is 12.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>ar <var>integer</var> (<em>decoding/encoding,audio</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set audio sampling rate (in Hz).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>ac <var>integer</var> (<em>decoding/encoding,audio</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set number of audio channels.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>cutoff <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,audio</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set cutoff bandwidth. (Supported only by selected encoders, see
their respective documentation sections.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>frame_size <var>integer</var> (<em>encoding,audio</em>)</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set audio frame size.
</p>
<p>Each submitted frame except the last must contain exactly frame_size
samples per channel. May be 0 when the codec has
CODEC_CAP_VARIABLE_FRAME_SIZE set, in that case the frame size is not
restricted. It is set by some decoders to indicate constant frame
size.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>frame_number <var>integer</var></samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set the frame number.

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 option <code>-decoders</code> of the ff* tools will display the list of
enabled decoders.

<p>Encoders are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow the encoding of
multimedia streams.
</p>
<p>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</code> option. You can list all
available encoders using the configure option <code>--list-encoders</code>.
</p>
<p>You can disable all the encoders with the configure option
<code>--disable-encoders</code> and selectively enable / disable single encoders
with the options <code>--enable-encoder=<var>ENCODER</var></code> /
<code>--disable-encoder=<var>ENCODER</var></code>.
</p>
<p>The option <code>-encoders</code> of the ff* tools will display the list of
enabled encoders.

<dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>b</samp></span></dt>

<dd><p>Set cutoff frequency. If unspecified will allow the encoder to dynamically
adjust the cutoff to improve clarity on low bitrates.

<dt><span><samp>aac_coder</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set AAC encoder coding method. Possible values:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><span>‘<samp>twoloop</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Two loop searching (TLS) method. This is the default method.
</p>
<p>This method first sets quantizers depending on band thresholds and then tries
to find an optimal combination by adding or subtracting a specific value from
all quantizers and adjusting some individual quantizer a little. Will tune
itself based on whether <samp>aac_is</samp>, <samp>aac_ms</samp> and <samp>aac_pns</samp>
are enabled.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>anmr</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Average noise to mask ratio (ANMR) trellis-based solution.
</p>
<p>This is an experimental coder which currently produces a lower quality, is more
unstable and is slower than the default twoloop coder but has potential.
Currently has no support for the <samp>aac_is</samp> or <samp>aac_pns</samp> options.
Not currently recommended.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span>‘<samp>fast</samp>’</span></dt>
<dd><p>Constant quantizer method.
</p>
<p>Uses a cheaper version of twoloop algorithm that doesn’t try to do as many
clever adjustments. Worse with low bitrates (less than 64kbps), but is better
and much faster at higher bitrates.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>aac_ms</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Sets mid/side coding mode. The default value of "auto" will automatically use
M/S with bands which will benefit from such coding. Can be forced for all bands
using the value "enable", which is mainly useful for debugging or disabled using
"disable".
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>aac_is</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Sets intensity stereo coding tool usage. By default, it’s enabled and will
automatically toggle IS for similar pairs of stereo bands if it’s beneficial.
Can be disabled for debugging by setting the value to "disable".
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>aac_pns</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Uses perceptual noise substitution to replace low entropy high frequency bands
with imperceptible white noise during the decoding process. By default, it’s
enabled, but can be disabled for debugging purposes by using "disable".
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>aac_tns</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Enables the use of a multitap FIR filter which spans through the high frequency
bands to hide quantization noise during the encoding process and is reverted
by the decoder. As well as decreasing unpleasant artifacts in the high range
this also reduces the entropy in the high bands and allows for more bits to
be used by the mid-low bands. By default it’s enabled but can be disabled for
debugging by setting the option to "disable".
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>aac_ltp</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Enables the use of the long term prediction extension which increases coding
efficiency in very low bandwidth situations such as encoding of voice or
solo piano music by extending constant harmonic peaks in bands throughout
frames. This option is implied by profile:a aac_low and is incompatible with
aac_pred. Use in conjunction with <samp>-ar</samp> to decrease the samplerate.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><samp>aac_pred</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Enables the use of a more traditional style of prediction where the spectral
coefficients transmitted are replaced by the difference of the current
coefficients minus the previous "predicted" coefficients. In theory and sometimes
in practice this can improve quality for low to mid bitrate audio.
This option implies the aac_main profile and is incompatible with aac_ltp.
</p>

<p>AC-3 audio encoders.
</p>
<p>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).
</p>
<p>The <var>ac3</var> encoder uses floating-point math, while the <var>ac3_fixed</var>
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 <var>ac3_fixed</var> 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</code> in order to use it.

<p>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.

<p>These parameters are described in detail in several publicly-available
documents.

<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 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>
<p>For more information see the fdk-aac project at
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/opencore-amr/fdk-aac/">http://sourceforge.net/p/opencore-amr/fdk-aac/</a>.

<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>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><span><samp>b</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>Set bitrate target in bits/second. By default this will use
variable-bitrate mode. If <samp>maxrate</samp> and <samp>minrate</samp> are

key frames; if zero the output stream will be intra-only. The minimum
distance is ignored unless it is the same as the GOP size, in which case
key frames will always appear at a fixed interval. Not set by default,
so without this option the library has completely free choice about
where to place key frames.

<dd><p>Set the target Butteraugli distance. This is a quality setting: lower
distance yields higher quality, with distance=1.0 roughly comparable to

true lossless encoding. Valid values range between 0.0 and 15.0, and sane

<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.

<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.

<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
the documentation of the undocumented generic options, see
<a href="#codec_002doptions">the Codec Options chapter</a>.

<p>This option is functionally the same as the <samp>x264opts</samp>, but is
duplicated for compatibility with the Libav fork.

<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>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. For the ICQ modes, global
quality range is 1 to 51, with 1 being the best quality.
</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, both
<samp>avbr_accuracy</samp> and <samp>avbr_convergence</samp> are set to non-zero. This
mode is available for H264 and HEVC on Windows.
</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>This codec encodes the bitmap subtitle format that is used in DVDs.
Typically they are stored in VOBSUB file pairs (*.idx + *.sub),
and they can also be used in Matroska files.

<p>The format for this option is a string containing 16 24-bits hexadecimal
numbers (without 0x prefix) separated by commas, for example <code>0d00ee,
ee450d, 101010, eaeaea, 0ce60b, ec14ed, ebff0b, 0d617a, 7b7b7b, d1d1d1,
7b2a0e, 0d950c, 0f007b, cf0dec, cfa80c, 7c127b</code>.

</dd>
<dt><span><samp>even_rows_fix</samp></span></dt>
<dd><p>When set to 1, enable a work-around that makes the number of pixel rows
even in all subtitles. This fixes a problem with some players that
cut off the bottom row if the number is odd. The work-around just adds
a fully transparent row if needed. The overhead is low, typically
one byte per subtitle on average.
</p>
<p>By default, this work-around is disabled.
