Hello, I have several questions about using av_dict_set(AVDictionary **pm,
const char *key, const char *value, int flags) to set the options for input
and output videos.
I am trying to translate several options from the FFmpeg binary usage to the
libav-api, and I have trouble with some of them.
1. If I have multiple options to set (e.g. "-preset ultrafast", and "-tune
zerolatency"), do I just use av_dict_set repeatedly, one after the other?
Yes.
Will they overwrite each other?
One "preset" will (hopefully) overwrite another "preset".
I believe they do, since the documentation
says "Set the given entry in *pm, overwriting an existing entry."
... with the same name.
How do I add more options then?
2. I used "-re" on FFmpeg. av_dict_set requires a key and value. How do I
apply this option?
This is not an option that you can pass to the library, your calling
code has to take care that it does not work faster than realtime.
(Just as ffmpeg.c does)
3. How would I translate this to an option:
"-x264opts ...
"x264opts" is an option that takes a string as argument (iirc).

Thank you. That clarified most of my doubts.
I managed to get the -x264opts working as an option:
av_opt_set(ctx->priv_data, "x264opts", "...stuff...", 0);
I also shifted -preset ultrafast and -tune zerolatency to use
av_opt_set, and everything works great now. I was probably applying the
options to the wrong context object.
