Indeed. > [prores_aw @ 0x36fdc40] unknown profile -1, use [0 - apco, 1 - apcs, 2 - > apcn (default), 3 - apch] Ah, interesting, I didn't actually *try* the encoder. > 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 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. ;-)) Cheers, Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
