主要AVOptions
公有AVOptions
-preset
主要用来调节编码速度和质量的平衡,虽然libx264和h264_nvenc都有此参数,但是该参数的可选项却不完全相同:
preset是通过设置一系列编码参数来实现调节编码速度和质量的效果的,
e.g. -preset faster
是做了如下设置 --no-mixed-refs --rc-lookahead 20 --ref 2 --subme 4 --weightp 1
详细信息见文章最后一章的x264 encoding options。
libx264 有10个选项
速度由快到慢,速度越慢,质量越好,压缩比越大;默认是medium。
- ultrafast
- superfast
- veryfast
- faster
- fast
- medium
- slow
- slower
- veryslow
- placebo
h264_nvenc 有11个选项
默认是medium。
- slow
- medium
- fast
- hp
- hq
- bd
- ll
- llhq
- llhp
- lossless
- losslesshp
针对 libx264做过简单的各选项对比测试,结果如下图
-profile
用来设置画质级别, 默认级别为 high:
- Baseline Profile:基本画质。支持I/P 帧,只支持无交错(Progressive)和CAVLC;
- Main profile:主流画质。提供I/P/B 帧,支持无交错(Progressive)和交错(Interlaced), 也支持CAVLC 和CABAC 的支持;
- High profile:高级画质。在main Profile 的基础上增加了8x8内部预测、自定义量化、 无损视频编码和更多的YUV 格式;
H.264 Baseline profile和Main profile都是针对8位样本数据、4:2:0格式(YUV)的视频序列。在相同配置情况下,High profile(HP)可以比Main profile(MP)降低10%的码率。 根据应用领域的不同,Baseline profile多应用于实时通信领域,Main profile多应用于流媒体领域,High profile则多应用于广电和存储领域。
除了这三项之外,high还衍生出了 high10、 high422、 high444、high444p 等参数。。。。。
该参数覆盖的用户设置项见文章最后一章的x264 encoding options。
-level
-crf
-cq
crf可以根据视频的运动和静止动态的进行压缩。
与crf、cq、qp、vbr、cbr相关的解析可以参考:Understanding Rate Control Modes (x264, x265, vpx) 和 CRF Guide (Constant Rate Factor in x264 and x265)
libx264
-crf d Select the quality for constant quality mode (from -1 to FLT_MAX) (default -1)
h264_nvenc
-cq Set target quality level (0 to 51, 0 means automatic) for constant quality mode in VBR rate control (from 0 to 51) (default 0)
-qp
类似于
crf
,但相同比特率下质量更差,建议使用crf
libx264
Constant quantization parameter rate control method (from -1 to INT_MAX) (default -1)
h264_nvenc
Constant quantization parameter rate control method (from -1 to 51) (default -1)
libx264 专有参数
-tune
为特定类型的源或情况调整设置
主要参数有
- film ( 电影、真人类型)
- animation (动画)
- grain (需要保留大量的grain时用,高比特率编码)
- stillimage (静态图像编码时使用)
- psnr (为提高psnr做了优化的参数)
- ssim (为提高ssim做了优化的参数)
- fastdecode (可以快速解码的参数)
- zerolatency (零延迟,用在需要非常低的延迟的情况下,比如电视电话会议的编码)
