-ENCODING
-========
-
-You can encode files from one format/codec to another using this facility.
-
-``--o=<filename>``
- Enables encoding mode and specifies the output file name.
-
-``--of=<format>``
- Specifies the output format (overrides autodetection by the file name
- extension of the file specified by ``-o``). This can be a comma separated
- list of possible formats to try. See ``--of=help`` for a full list of
- supported formats.
-
-``--ofopts=<options>``
- Specifies the output format options for libavformat.
- See ``--ofopts=help`` for a full list of supported options.
-
- Options are managed in lists. There are a few commands to manage the
- options list.
-
- ``--ofopts-add=<options1[,options2,...]>``
- Appends the options given as arguments to the options list.
-
- ``--ofopts-pre=<options1[,options2,...]>``
- Prepends the options given as arguments to the options list.
-
- ``--ofopts-del=<index1[,index2,...]>``
- Deletes the options at the given indexes. Index numbers start at 0,
- negative numbers address the end of the list (-1 is the last).
-
- ``--ofopts-clr``
- Completely empties the options list.
-
-``--ofps=<float value>``
- Specifies the output format time base (default: 24000). Low values like 25
- limit video fps by dropping frames.
-
-``--oautofps``
- Sets the output format time base to the guessed frame rate of the input
- video (simulates mencoder behavior, useful for AVI; may cause frame drops).
- Note that not all codecs and not all formats support VFR encoding, and some
- which do have bugs when a target bitrate is specified - use ``--ofps`` or
- ``--oautofps`` to force CFR encoding in these cases.
-
-``--omaxfps=<float value>``
- Specifies the minimum distance of adjacent frames (default: 0, which means
- unset). Content of lower frame rate is not readjusted to this frame rate;
- content of higher frame rate is decimated to this frame rate.
-
-``--oharddup``
- If set, the frame rate given by ``--ofps`` is attained not by skipping time
- codes, but by duplicating frames (constant frame rate mode).
-
-``--oneverdrop``
- If set, frames are never dropped. Instead, time codes of video are
- readjusted to always increase. This may cause AV desync, though; to work
- around this, use a high-fps time base using ``--ofps`` and absolutely
- avoid ``--oautofps``.
-
-``--oac=<codec>``
- Specifies the output audio codec. This can be a comma separated list of
- possible codecs to try. See ``--oac=help`` for a full list of supported
- codecs.
-
-``--oaoffset=<value>``
- Shifts audio data by the given time (in seconds) by adding/removing
- samples at the start.
-
-``--oacopts=<options>``
- Specifies the output audio codec options for libavcodec.
- See ``--oacopts=help`` for a full list of supported options.
-
- .. admonition:: Example
-
- "``--oac=libmp3lame --oacopts=b=128000``"
- selects 128kbps MP3 encoding.
-
- Options are managed in lists. There are a few commands to manage the
- options list.
-
- ``--oacopts-add=<options1[,options2,...]>``
- Appends the options given as arguments to the options list.
-
- ``--oacopts-pre=<options1[,options2,...]>``
- Prepends the options given as arguments to the options list.
-
- ``--oacopts-del=<index1[,index2,...]>``
- Deletes the options at the given indexes. Index numbers start at 0,
- negative numbers address the end of the list (-1 is the last).
-
- ``--oacopts-clr``
- Completely empties the options list.
-
-``--oafirst``
- Force the audio stream to become the first stream in the output. By default
- the order is unspecified.
-
-``--ovc=<codec>``
- Specifies the output video codec. This can be a comma separated list of
- possible codecs to try. See ``--ovc=help`` for a full list of supported
- codecs.
-
-``--ovoffset=<value>``
- Shifts video data by the given time (in seconds) by shifting the pts
- values.
-
-``--ovcopts <options>``
- Specifies the output video codec options for libavcodec.
- See --ovcopts=help for a full list of supported options.
-
- .. admonition:: Examples
-
- ``"--ovc=mpeg4 --oacopts=qscale=5"``
- selects constant quantizer scale 5 for MPEG-4 encoding.
-
- ``"--ovc=libx264 --ovcopts=crf=23"``
- selects VBR quality factor 23 for H.264 encoding.
-
- Options are managed in lists. There are a few commands to manage the
- options list.
-
- ``--ovcopts-add=<options1[,options2,...]>``
- Appends the options given as arguments to the options list.
-
- ``--ovcopts-pre=<options1[,options2,...]>``
- Prepends the options given as arguments to the options list.
-
- ``--ovcopts-del=<index1[,index2,...]>``
- Deletes the options at the given indexes. Index numbers start at 0,
- negative numbers address the end of the list (-1 is the last).
-
- ``--ovcopts-clr``
- Completely empties the options list.
-
-``--ovfirst``
- Force the video stream to become the first stream in the output. By default
- the order is unspecified.
-
-``--ocopyts``
- Copies input pts to the output video (not supported by some output
- container formats, e.g. AVI). Discontinuities are still fixed.
- By default, audio pts are set to playback time and video pts are
- synchronized to match audio pts, as some output formats do not support
- anything else.
-
-``--orawts``
- Copies input pts to the output video (not supported by some output
- container formats, e.g. AVI). In this mode, discontinuities are not fixed
- and all pts are passed through as-is. Never seek backwards or use multiple
- input files in this mode!
-
-``--no-ometadata``
- Turns off copying of metadata from input files to output files when
- encoding (which is enabled by default).
