2pass encoding support for x264(r46). patch by Loren Merritt and Jeff Clagg

13324:dcbdd8ea356d

I frame frequency (default: 60)
.
.TP
.B frameref=<value>
Number of previous frames used as predictors in a P-frame (default: 1).
.br
.I NOTE:
As of x264 r38 this feature is not implemented yet.
.
.TP
.B idrframe=<value>
Each <value> I-Frames are IDR-Frames (default: 2).
In H.264, I-Frames do not necessarily bound a closed GOP because it is

.B deblockbeta=<-6-6>
Beta parameter of deblocking filter (default: 0).
Affects the maximum allowed gradient within two adjacent blocks.
.
.TP
.B cabac
Use CABAC (Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding).
.
.TP
.B cabacidc=<value>
Initial value of CABAC IDC.

H.264's quantizer parameter (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].
.br
.I NOTE:
This option takes effect even if you specify a CBR encode.
In such a case, the first encoded frame will use the quantization factor you
specified, but in later frames, the ratecontrol decides what quants to use.
.
.TP
.B qp_min=<2-51> (CBR only)
Minimum quantizer, 20-40 seems to be a useful range (default: 2).
.
.TP
.B qp_max=<2-51>  (CBR only)
Maximum quantizer
.
.TP
.B qp_step=<value>
Maximum Value by which the quantizer may be incremented/decremented between
frames.

.B rc_init_buffer=<value>
Set the initial ratecontrol buffer (default: 1/4 of rc_buffer_size)
.
.TP
.B rc_sens=<0-100>
ratecontrol sensitivity (default: 100)
.
.TP
.B ip_factor=<value>
quantizer factor between I amd P frames (default: 2.0)
.

This affects the ratecontrol: a lower value makes the
bitrate more constant, while a higher value makes the quantization parameter
more constant.
.
.TP
.B qblur=<0-1>
Temporal blur of the quantization parameter (default: 0.5).
Lower values allow the quantizer value to jump around more,
higher values force it to vary more smoothly.
.
.TP

.B log=<-1-3>
Adjust the amount of logging info printed to the screen.
.RSs
-1: none
.br
 0: errors (for debugging x264)
.br
 1: warnings
.br
 2: PSNR and other analysis stats when the encode finishes (default)
.br
 3: PSNR, QP, frametype, size, and other stats for every frame
.REss
.
.TP
.B psnr
Print signal-to-noise ratio statistics.

I frame frequency (default: 60)
.
.TP
.B frameref=<value>
Number of previous frames used as predictors in a P-frame (default: 1).
This may cause tiny changes in bitrate and PSNR.
Some decoders are unable to deal with large frameref values.

Each <value> I-Frames are IDR-Frames (default: 2).
In H.264, I-Frames do not necessarily bound a closed GOP because it is

Temporal blur of the quantization parameter (default: 0.5).
Lower values allow the quantizer value to jump around more,
