@section libx264
H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 format supported through
libx264.
x264 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder wrapper
Requires the presence of the libx264 headers and library during
configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
@code{--enable-libx264}.
@subsection Options
x264 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).
The FFmpeg wrapper provides a mapping for most of them using global options
that match those of the encoders and provides private options for the unique
encoder options. Additionally an expert override is provided to directly pass
a list of key=value tuples as accepted by x264_param_parse.
@subsection Option Mapping
The following options are supported by the x264 wrapper, the x264-equivalent
options follow the FFmpeg ones.
