Try searching for level on the page you linked, it is listed, along with syntax. I think its name is the only practical explanation of its meaning, as I mentioned, it can be completely different for each codec. > Additionally in the paragraphs of each codec the values > and meanings could be documented or at least link to an external source. > How it's determined, if the option is meant for the video or the audio > codec and how to do, if a different level is wanted for each codec? The thing is, if you need to produce output in a certain profile or level, more often than not you will know the constraints imposed or more likely, you don’t care/have no choice because it is mandated by the limitations in the consumer of the output. Also the tables & definitions for levels covers 7 pages for h264. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
