(default enabled) --vbi-position={0 (Center), 1 (Left), 2 (Right), 4 (Top), 8 (Bottom), 5 (T op-Left), 6 (Top-Right), 9 (Bottom-Left), 10 (Bottom-Right)} Teletext alignment You can enforce the teletext position on the video (0=center, 1=left, 2=right, 4=top, 8=bottom, you can also use combinations of these values, eg. 6 = top-right). --vbi-text, --no-vbi-text Teletext text subtitles (default disabled) Output teletext subtitles as text instead of as RGBA (default disabled) YUV video output --yuv-file=<string> device, fifo or filename device, fifo or filename to write yuv frames too. --yuv-chroma=<string> Chroma used.

(default disabled) H.264/MPEG4 AVC encoder (x264) --sout-x264-keyint=<integer> Maximum GOP size Sets maximum interval between IDR-frames.Larger values save bits,

If

thus improving quality for a given bitrate at the cost of seeking precision. --sout-x264-min-keyint=<integer> Minimum GOP size Sets minimum interval between IDR-frames. In H.264, I-frames do not necessarily bound a closed GOP because it is allowable for a P-frame to be predicted from more frames than just the one frame before it (also see reference frame option). Therefore, I-frames are not necessarily seekable. IDR-frames restrict subsequent P-frames from referring to any frame prior to the IDR-frame. scenecuts appear within this interval, they are still encoded as I-frames, but do not start a new GOP. --sout-x264-scenecut=<integer [-1 .. 100]> Extra I-frames aggressivity Scene-cut detection. Controls how aggressively to insert extra I-frames. With small values of scenecut, the codec often has to force an I-frame when it would exceed keyint. Good values of scenecut may find a better location for the I-frame. Large values use more I-frames than necessary, thus wasting bits. -1 disables scene-cut detection, so I-frames are inserted only every other keyint frames, which probably leads to ugly encoding artifacts. Range 1 to 100. --sout-x264-bframes=<integer [0 .. 16]> B-frames between I and P Number of consecutive B-frames between I and P-frames.

(default enabled) --sout-x264-ref=<integer [1 .. 16]> Number of reference frames Number of previous frames used as predictors.
