Hi Carl,

many thanks for replying. I'm really surprised there is no way to get all
the encoders linked to a particular container. I was able to use
avcodec_find_encoder(28) where 28 is the ID for MPEG-4 Part 14 and I
correctly get "libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10" but of
course there is also libx265 that encodes a video in the MP4 format. I
thought it was possible to get sich a list.

Many thanks for replying.
Giuseppe
