DivX4 is obsolete and only supported for completeness.

Sets the bitrate to be used in kbits/\:second (default: off).
This is required if you want a CBR (constant bitrate) encode.
.
.TP
.B iframe=<value>
Frequency of I frames (default: 60)
.
.TP
.B frameref=<value>
Number of previous frames used as predictors in a P-frame (default: 1)
.br
.I NOTE:
The current version of x264 (r38) hasn't yet implemented this feature.
.
.TP
.B idrframe=<value>
Each <value> I-Frames are 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 frameref).
Therefore, I-frames are not necessarily seekable. IDR-Frames restrict
subsequent P-frames from referring to any frame prior to the IDR-Frame
(default: 2)
.
.TP
.B bframe=<value>
Number of B-Frames between I- and P-Frames (default: 0)
.
.TP
.B deblock=<0|1>
Use deblocking filter (default: on)
.
.TP
.B deblockalpha=<-6-6>
AlphaC0 parameter of deblocking filter.
This adjusts thresholds for the H.264 deblocking filter.
First, this parameter adjusts the maximum amount of change that the filter is
allowed to cause on any one pixel.
Secondly, this parameter affects the threshold for difference across the
edge being filtered.
A positive value reduces blocking artifacts more, but will also smear details
(default: 0)
.
.TP
.B deblockbeta=<-6-6>
Beta parameter of deblocking filter.
Affects the maximum allowed gradient within two adjacent blocks (default: 0)
.
.TP
.B cabac
Use CABAC (Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) (default: off)
.
.TP
.B cabacidc=<value>
Initial value of CABAC IDC.
The encoder must choose a context for each block it encodes, but for the
first block in a frame, there are no prior blocks to predict the context.
Adjusting this may affect bitrate by a fraction of a percent, but it doesn't
directly affect distortion.

.
.TP
.B qp_constant=<2-51>
This selects the quantizer to use.
Lower values result in better fidelity, but higher bitrates.
Note that quantization in H.264 works differently from mpeg[124].
H.264's QP is on a logarithmic scale. As an example, the bitrate difference
between QP=20 and QP=40 is about a factor of 10.
Useful quantizers in H.264 tend to be very large compared to mpeg[124].
20-40 is a useful range (default: 26)
.br
.I NOTE:
This option takes effect even if you specify a cbr encode.
In such a case, the first frame encoded will use the quantization factor you
specified, but in later frames, the ratecontrol decides what quants to use.
.
.TP
.B qp_min=<2-51>
Minimum quantizer. CBR only. 20-40 seems to be a useful range (default: 2)
.
.TP
.B qp_max=<2-51>
Maximum quantizer. CBR only.
.
.TP
.B qp_step=<value>
Maximum Value by which the quantizer may be incremented/decremented between
frames.
.
.TP
.B rc_buffer_size=<value>
Size of the ratecontrol buffer. (default: 1 second's worth at the bitrate you
specified)
.
.TP
.B rc_init_buffer=<value>
Set the initial size of ratecontrol buffer (default: 1/4 of rc_buffer_size)
.B rc_sens=<0-100>
Ratecontrol sensitivity (default: 100)
.
.TP
.B ip_factor=<value>
Quantizer factor between I amd P frames (default: 2.0)
.
.TP
.B pb_factor=<value>
Quantizer factor between P and B frames (default: 2.0)
.
.TP
.B pass=<1|2>
For 2-pass mode. The first pass saves statistics.
.
.TP
.B qcompress=<0-1>
Quantizer compression. This affects the ratecontrol: a lower value makes the
bitrate more constant, while a higher value makes the quantization parameter
more constant (default: 0.6)
.
.TP
.B qblur=<0-1>
Temporal blur of the quantization parameter. Lower values allow the quantizer
value to jump around more; higher values force it to vary more smoothly
(default: 0.5)
.
.TP
.B fullinter
Use all available interframe analyse methods (i4x4, psub8x8, psub16x16)
(default: 4x4, psub16x16)
.
.TP
.B log=<-1-3>
Adjust the amount of logging info printed to the screen.
