I'm quite sure.

BTW, there was a previous recent propasal to move the alias to _ks, but
it apparently never went through:

Interesting.

Will the alias "-c:v prores" then point to "prores_ks"?

Ah, that's interesting. That's due to the fact that prores_ks chose to
implement their own encoder-specific options for profile, while
prores_aw uses the value from ffmpeg's global option. (Confusing? A
bit, but shouldn't be to the user.)

Consequently, at least the valid profiles should be documented.
Furthermore, a proposal to implement prores_aw's profiles so that they
a) accepts strings, and b) document themselves automatically would be
nice. (Should be easy to implement, not sure if it would be accepted. I
would do it, but don't have the time today. ;-))

Thanks!
My confusion was *before* Carl's answer :)
I assumed that strings will be mapped to integers, but trying any
profile string (I found) with prores (=prores_aw?) resulted in this:

[prores @ 0x28b2fc0] [Eval @ 0x7ffc00f9e2c0] Undefined constant or
missing '(' in 'lt'
[prores @ 0x28b2fc0] Unable to parse option value "lt"
[prores @ 0x28b2fc0] Error setting option profile to value lt.

But now I know:

  * -c:v prores_ks: uses the documented profile strings
  * -c:v prores_aw (=prores): seems to work only with integers (not in
the documentation/nor help)


btw: Trying an invalid profile number with prores_aw, gives some
"documentation":

[prores_aw @ 0x36fdc40] unknown profile -1, use [0 - apco, 1 - apcs, 2 -
apcn (default), 3 - apch]

Where "apco, apcs, apcn, apch" are explained in:
https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Apple_ProRes


> You can (sometimes) see the mapping if you use "ffmpeg -h", e.g.

Thanks again! :)

btw: for "encoder=prores" or "encoder=prores_aw", this doesn't provide
much information:

Encoder prores_aw [Apple ProRes]:
    General capabilities: threads
    Threading capabilities: frame
    Supported pixel formats: yuv422p10le

Completely agree! Strings are way better (to remember and use).
They just don't work for the default encoder :(


Again: Thanks for clearing things up!

You can use the strings instead of numbers. I believe it used to be
*only* integers, nowadays strings mostly also map to the same values.
The docs could list the integers, but if they don't, I don't think it
matters. But I do understand your confusion.

You can (sometimes) see the mapping if you use "ffmpeg -h", e.g.

$ ffmpeg -h encoder=prores_ks
[...]
  -profile   E..V (from -1 to 5) (default auto)
 auto E..V
 proxyE..V
 lt   E..V
 standard E..V
 hq   E..V
  E..V
 xq   E..V

Those seven values map to -1 .. 5, in case you do want to use digits. I
don't see a reason for doing that though.

'yuva444p10le' -> the 'a' in 'yuva' represents alpha.

Check with

ffmpeg -i bunny.mov -lavfi

In test.mov, do you see pink in place of the transparent parts of bunny.mov?

I'm not sure what the practical difference is between the _aw and _ks encoders 
is, and I'm not sure it's documented anywhere. Still, if it helps, I've been 
using the _ks version for some time to produce deliverables and not had any

Thanks Carl :)
Underscore does the trick!

Is "-" used on purpose in the docs, or a typo?

[FFmpeg-user] ProRes encoding: Question about FFmpeg docs

2018-03-11 Thread Peter B. 
Hi :)

For testing purposes, I tried to encode a ProRes file using ffmpeg
(current git HEAD).
I have 2 questions about the FFmpeg docs about ProRes [1]:


1) Docs mention 2 encoder names, but only "prores" works:


When I looked at the documentation [1], there are 2 encoders mentioned:
  * prores-aw
  * prores-ks

It says to use "-vcodec" to choose which one (btw: I also tried "-c:v"):
I get: "Unknown encoder" for both.
(Commandline and console output at the end)

Using "-c:v prores" works, however.
I've also checked "./configure --help | grep -i prores" but didn't find
any compile switch to enable/disable them.


2) Docs say "profile/quantmat" is "integer", but only list strings:


[quote]
profile integer
    Select the ProRes profile to encode

    ‘proxy’
    ‘lt’
    ‘standard’
    ‘hq’
    ‘’
    ‘xq’

quant_mat integer
    Select quantization matrix.

    ‘auto’
    ‘default’
    ‘proxy’
    ‘lt’
    ‘standard’
    ‘hq’
[/quote]


Am I using it incorrectly, or is the documentation confusing?

Thank you very much in advance,
Peter
