  1. to be more precise I'm looking for information about:
    • Where do I find the documentation for the arguments accepted by ffmpeg for ffvhuff?
      Through Google I found that:
      • ffvhuff can be used through "-vcodec ffvhuff"
        and has at least these options:
        • "-context X" <- What are vaild values for X ?
        • "-coder X" <- What are vaild values for X ?
    • Where do I find the documentation for the arguments accepted by ffmpeg for utvideo?
      Through Google I only found that:
      • 'ut video' can be used through "-vcodec libutvideo"
        Couldn't find any information about what options are available for it.

    Something like the Cheat sheet for FFV1 would be really nice.
    Also if no such documentation exits, it would be nice if some who has some experience with either of those encoders can shed some light on the matter.

    Thanks!

    Cu Selur

    If my dos memory still works don't you just do -? or something like that to pull up all the options in the dos prompt?

    or maybe just ? after the command?

    edit - just tested it it is /? after the exe command. Hope that helps you a little.

    Glad to help and it is actually /? after the exe. Here is what I got with the version of ffmpeg I have (don't know what version that is):

    edit - sorry selur I don't have that huff or utvideo extensions you mentioned. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were looking for either. Hope its something at least.

    Code:
    ffmpeg -h full>path-to\ffmpeg-help.txt
    Not sure if the answer Selur looks for is there though

    Awww, I tried to post the output of ffmpeg -? full but got a server error. But believe me, it's good.

    /? just gives you an error, and it lists the kind of options you SHOULD be giving it instead.

    No specifics on UT though

  8. No, sorry folks. I know the full help, but it's not really useful since it doesn't specify which options are supported by which codec and testing them all is simply to much work.

  9. UTVideo
    C:...\Libav>avconv --help encoder=utvideo
    avconv version v10_beta1-733-g7cc4c9f, Copyright (c) 2000-2014 the Libav develop
    ers

    Encoder utvideo [Ut Video]:
    Threading capabilities: no
    Supported pixel formats: rgb24 rgba yuv422p yuv420p
    There are no special options for utvideo, just need to set -pix_fmt correctly.

  10. Okay, strange thing is:
    'ffmpeg --help encoder=ffvhuff' returns:
    Code:
    Encoder ffvhuff [Huffyuv FFmpeg variant]:
        Threading capabilities: frame
        Supported pixel formats: yuv420p yuv422p yuv444p yuv411p yuv410p yuv440p gbrp gbrp9le gbrp10le gbrp12le gbrp14le gray gray16le yuva420p yuva422p yuva444p gbrap gray8a yuv420p9le yuv420p10le yuv420p12le yuv420p14le yuv420p16le yuv422p9le yuv422p10le yuv422p12le yuv422p14le yuv422p16le yuv444p9le yuv444p10le yuv444p12le yuv444p14le yuv444p16le yuva420p9le yuva420p10le yuva420p16le yuva422p9le yuva422p10le yuva422p16le yuva444p9le yuva444p10le yuva444p16le rgb24 bgra
    but '-coder' and '-context' do configure ffvhuff
    -> I'm skeptical in trusting the help command line output.

  11. Those options should be the same as FFV1

    -coder 0 = VLC, -coder 1 = AC


    Code:
    Coder: 	-coder 	0, 1 	0=Golomb Rice, 1=Range Coder
    Context: 	-context 	0, 1 	0=small, 1=large

  12. That's what I figured, problem is I still don't know whether there re there other options for ut-video/ffvhuff

    These would be all the possible settings for UT:

    Are you interested in Predict Median/Left?

  14. Ah, that's what the vfw interface looks like.

    Are you interested in Predict Median/Left?
    Sure. Also the "Frame divide count" if it is available or is it indirectly handled by ffmpegs normal '-thread'?
