1374+
1375+libaom AV1 encoder wrapper.
1376+
1377+Requires the presence of the libaom headers and library during
1378+configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
1379+@code{--enable-libaom}.
1380+
1381+@subsection Options
1382+
1383+The wrapper supports the following standard libavcodec options:
1384+
1385+@table @option
1386+
1387+@item b
1388+Set bitrate target in bits/second. By default this will use
1389+variable-bitrate mode. If @option{maxrate} and @option{minrate} are
1390+also set to the same value then it will use constant-bitrate mode,
1391+otherwise if @option{crf} is set as well then it will use
1392+constrained-quality mode.
1393+
1394+@item g keyint_min
1395+Set key frame placement. The GOP size sets the maximum distance between
1396+key frames; if zero the output stream will be intra-only. The minimum
1397+distance is ignored unless it is the same as the GOP size, in which case
1398+key frames will always appear at a fixed interval. Not set by default,
1399+so without this option the library has completely free choice about
1400+where to place key frames.
1401+
1402+@item qmin qmax
1403+Set minimum/maximum quantisation values. Valid range is from 0 to 63
1404+(warning: this does not match the quantiser values actually used by AV1
1405+- divide by four to map real quantiser values to this range). Defaults
1406+to min/max (no constraint).
1407+
1408+@item minrate maxrate bufsize rc_init_occupancy
1409+Set rate control buffering parameters. Not used if not set - defaults
1410+to unconstrained variable bitrate.
1411+
1412+@item threads
1413+Set the number of threads to use while encoding. This may require the
1414+@option{tiles} option to also be set to actually use the specified
1415+number of threads fully. Defaults to the number of hardware threads
1416+supported by the host machine.
1417+
1418+@item profile
1419+Set the encoding profile. Defaults to using the profile which matches
1420+the bit depth and chroma subsampling of the input.
1421+
1422+@end table
1423+
1424+The wrapper also has some specific options:
1425+
1426+@table @option
1427+
1428+@item cpu-used
1429+Set the quality/encoding speed tradeoff. Valid range is from 0 to 8,
1430+higher numbers indicating greater speed and lower quality. The default
1431+value is 1, which will be slow and high quality.
1432+
1433+@item auto-alt-ref
1434+Enable use of alternate reference frames. Defaults to the internal
1435+default of the library.
1436+
1437+@item lag-in-frames
1438+Set the maximum number of frames which the encoder may keep in flight
1439+at any one time for lookahead purposes. Defaults to the internal
1440+default of the library.
1441+
1442+@item error-resilience
1443+Enable error resilience features:
1444+@table @option
1445+@item default
1446+Improve resilience against losses of whole frames.
1447+@end table
1448+Not enabled by default.
1449+
1450+@item crf
1451+Set the quality/size tradeoff for constant-quality (no bitrate target)
1452+and constrained-quality (with maximum bitrate target) modes. Valid
1453+range is 0 to 63, higher numbers indicating lower quality and smaller
1454+output size. Only used if set; by default only the bitrate target is
1455+used.
1456+
1457+@item static-thresh
1458+Set a change threshold on blocks below which they will be skipped by
1459+the encoder. Defined in arbitrary units as a nonnegative integer,
1460+defaulting to zero (no blocks are skipped).
1461+
1462+@item drop-threshold
1463+Set a threshold for dropping frames when close to rate control bounds.
1464+Defined as a percentage of the target buffer - when the rate control
1465+buffer falls below this percentage, frames will be dropped until it
1466+has refilled above the threshold. Defaults to zero (no frames are
1467+dropped).
1468+
1469+@item tiles
1470+Set the number of tiles to encode the input video with, as colums x
1471+rows. Larger numbers allow greater parallelism in both encoding and
1472+decoding, but may decrease coding efficiency. Defaults to the minimum
1473+number of tiles required by the size of the input video (this is 1x1
1474+(that is, a single tile) for sizes up to and including 4K).
1475+
1476+@item tile-columns tile-rows
1477+Set the number of tiles as log2 of the number of tile rows and columns.
1478+Provided for compatibility with libvpx/VP9.
