	<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 class="var">option</var> <var class="var">value</var> in the
	FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
	<code class="code">AVCodecContext</code> options or using the <samp class="file">libavutil/opt.h</samp> API
	for programmatic use.
	</p>
	<p>The list of supported options follow:
	</p>
	<dl class="table">
	<dt><samp class="option">b <var class="var">integer</var> (<em class="emph">encoding,audio,video</em>)</samp></dt>
	<dd><p>Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.

	<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

	<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 class="code">--enable-lib</code> option. You can list all
	available decoders using the configure option <code class="code">--list-decoders</code>.
	</p>
	<p>You can disable all the decoders with the configure option
	<code class="code">--disable-decoders</code> and selectively enable / disable single decoders
	with the options <code class="code">--enable-decoder=<var class="var">DECODER</var></code> /
	<code class="code">--disable-decoder=<var class="var">DECODER</var></code>.
	</p>
	<p>The option <code class="code">-decoders</code> of the ff* tools will display the list of

	<p>The decoder supports MV-HEVC multiview streams with at most two views. Views to

	<samp class="option">view_ids</samp> option). This option may be set either statically before
	decoder init, or from the <code class="code">get_format()</code> callback - useful for the case

	<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>libwebp WebP Image encoder wrapper

	<p>libwebp is Google’s official encoder for WebP images. It can encode in either

	<p>Currently, libwebp only supports YUV420 for lossy and RGB for lossless due

	Because of API limitations, if RGB is passed in when encoding lossy or YUV is

	<p>x264 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder wrapper.

	<p>This encoder requires the presence of the libx264 headers and library
	during configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
	<code class="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 class="option">x264opts</samp> and <samp class="option">x264-params</samp>
	private options allows one to pass a list of key=value tuples as accepted
	by the libx264 <code class="code">x264_param_parse</code> function.

	<a class="url" 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>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 class="option">bits_per_mb</samp> limit will improve the speed.
	</p>
	<p>For the fastest encoding speed set the <samp class="option">qscale</samp> parameter (4 is the
	recommended value) and do not set a size constraint.
