Yes, I don't really want to change the default behaviour, I'm just wondering how
I can pass an option to ffmpeg to change it to an arbitrary string, if that's
possible at all. I guess I could grope around in the file afterwards myself, but
it'd be handy to have this option in ffmpeg.

That's just a metadata field, he name changes depending on the codec and I
don't happen to know what MOV's file structure calls it, but you could
easily have your program change it to H.264 after the file has been written
but before closing it, if you wanted to.
Btw, it's usually called Encoder, or tool, something like that for you to
find out more about.
btw I highly doubt the ffmpeg devs will change their code, because a lot
more people rely on the version info contained there to know about certain
bugs, and encoding issues that may be present in that copy of x264, so they
won't change their code.

Hello, I'm using FFMpeg and x264 to code h.264 quicktime files from ProRes
originals, for users who mostly use QuickTime Player on MacOS.
This works pretty great, and the quality is much better than what I get
using Apple's own h.264 codec.
However, when I open these QuickTime files in QuickTime player, and press
command-I to get the info window, "Format" shows up as "libx264, 1920x1080,
Millions..." etc., while, if I do the same thing with a file coded with
Apple's h.264 codec, I get "H.264, 1920x1080, Millions", etc.
While this is a small niggle, I'm wondering if it's possible to fix, so
that
people can't see what codec I'm using, and the files look like they've been
generated with Apple's codec?
