@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 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.

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.

@item flags @var{flags} (@emph{decoding/encoding,audio,video,subtitles})
Set generic flags.

Possible values:
@table @samp
@item mv4
Use four motion vector by macroblock (mpeg4).
@item qpel
Use 1/4 pel motion compensation.
@item loop
Use loop filter.
@item qscale
Use fixed qscale.
@item pass1
Use internal 2pass ratecontrol in first pass mode.
@item pass2
Use internal 2pass ratecontrol in second pass mode.
@item gray
Only decode/encode grayscale.
@item psnr
Set error[?] variables during encoding.
@item truncated
Input bitstream might be randomly truncated.
@item drop_changed
Don't output frames whose parameters differ from first decoded frame in stream.
Error AVERROR_INPUT_CHANGED is returned when a frame is dropped.

@item ildct
Use interlaced DCT.
@item low_delay
Force low delay.
@item global_header
Place global headers in extradata instead of every keyframe.
@item bitexact
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.
@item aic
Apply H263 advanced intra coding / mpeg4 ac prediction.
@item ilme
Apply interlaced motion estimation.
@item cgop
Use closed gop.
@item output_corrupt
Output even potentially corrupted frames.
@end table

@item time_base @var{rational number}
Set codec time base.

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} and timestamp increments should be
identically 1.

@item g @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set the group of picture (GOP) size. Default value is 12.

@item ar @var{integer} (@emph{decoding/encoding,audio})

Set number of audio channels.

@item cutoff @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio})
Set cutoff bandwidth. (Supported only by selected encoders, see
their respective documentation sections.)

@item frame_size @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio})
Set audio frame size.

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.

@item frame_number @var{integer}
Set the frame number.

@item delay @var{integer}

@item qcomp @var{float} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set video quantizer scale compression (VBR). It is used as a constant
in the ratecontrol equation. Recommended range for default rc_eq:
0.0-1.0.

@item qblur @var{float} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set video quantizer scale blur (VBR).

@item qmin @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set min video quantizer scale (VBR). Must be included between -1 and
69, default value is 2.

@item qmax @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set max video quantizer scale (VBR). Must be included between -1 and
1024, default value is 31.

@item qdiff @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set max difference between the quantizer scale (VBR).

@item bf @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set max number of B frames between non-B-frames.

Must be an integer between -1 and 16. 0 means that B-frames are
disabled. If a value of -1 is used, it will choose an automatic value
depending on the encoder.

Default value is 0.

@item b_qfactor @var{float} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set qp factor between P and B frames.

@item max_pixels @var{integer} (@emph{decoding/encoding,video})
Maximum number of pixels per image. This value can be used to avoid out of
memory failures due to large images.

@item apply_cropping @var{bool} (@emph{decoding,video})
Enable cropping if cropping parameters are multiples of the required
alignment for the left and top parameters. If the alignment is not met the
cropping will be partially applied to maintain alignment.
Default is 1 (enabled).
Note: The required alignment depends on if @code{AV_CODEC_FLAG_UNALIGNED} is set and the
CPU. @code{AV_CODEC_FLAG_UNALIGNED} cannot be changed from the command line. Also hardware
decoders will not apply left/top Cropping.
