[FFmpeg-user] What happens when the input codec is the same as the output codec?

In relation to both video and audio streams, I'm wondering what the
behaviour is when the output codec is specified (e.g. -vcodec libx264) but
is the same as the inputted video? Will there be a decode and re-encode or
will it behave the same as -vcodec copy?

Cheers,
Felix
