Actually they are not a part of the output, they form their own parsing unit equivalent to -i/output.

The muxer can be anything, it does not know anything about loopback decoders. The only limitation in this regard is that it is not (currently) possible to avoid muxing entirely. -- Anton Khirnov ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

I don't know how vpx alpha works, was it a separate stream in the demuxer or something like that? The encoder attaches the coded alpha as side data to the packet. Only a couple of containers support this SD. The demuxer, in turn, attaches the alpha as SD upon export. Loopback decoders work exactly like normal decoders, except their packets arrive from an encoder instead of a demuxer. In terms of syntax, do all LB streams have to be specified in the first output? Does that output muxer have to be null, or can those packets be routed to both output and LB?

I don't know how vpx alpha works, was it a separate stream in the demuxer or something like that?
