[FFmpeg-user] preset files

[Scott Johnson]

Hi Moritz,

This was a big help, thanks for the update. One of 40 steps closer to finishing my program. Lol

Thanks,

Scott.

Francois suggested a wrapper, i.e. a script which is called ffmpeg, which adds there options under the hood. Your "API" would call this script, assuming it is the ffmpeg binary.

At first glance, I don't see any deprecation code around its implementation.

You could have just tried (as I am doing now). Using "-loglevel debug", ffmpeg will tell you about the parsing of this file. E.g.

> keks.ffpreset: Invalid option or argument: 'c:a=aac ', parsed as 'c:a' 
> = 'aac'

This works if changed to
acodec=aac
(the c:X format is apparently not supported).

When that is changed, I get:

> ffpreset[keks.ffpreset]: set 'max_muxing_queue_size' = '99999'
> keks.ffpreset: Invalid option or argument: 
> 'max_muxing_queue_size=99999 ', parsed as 'max_muxing_queue_size' = '99999'

Why the latter isn't understood I do not know, though. Someone else will need to pitch in, as I don't have the time to investigate right now.

Cheers,
Moritz
