Hi Thomas,

We have had similar requests in the past, and usually the answer was
"Blender is not an encoder". The idea of that answer is that generally
better results are obtained by having Blender render as images, and
then compressing those into a video stream with a tool like ffmpeg.
This also keeps the UI relatively simple, and bug reports more
manageable.

However, you're just asking for info on how to create a custom build
for yourself, and I can help you with that. The video output code can
be found in source/blender/blenkernel/intern/writeffmpeg.c, where
you'll also see how we pass options to FFmpeg. It shouldn't be too
hard for you to add some extra options there.

Cheers,
Sybren
