@chapter Codec Options
@c man begin CODEC OPTIONS

libavcodec provides some generic global options, which can be set on
all the encoders and decoders. In addition each codec may support
so-called private options, which are specific for a given codec.

Sometimes, a global option may only affect a specific kind of codec,
and may be unsensical or ignored by another, so you need to be aware
of the meaning of the specified options. Also some options are
meant only for decoding or encoding.

Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
@code{AVCodecContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
for programmatic use.

The list of supported options follow:

@table @option
@item b @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio,video})
Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.

@item ab @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio})
Set audio bitrate (in bits/s). Default value is 128K.

@item bt @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
Set video bitrate tolerance (in bits/s). In 1-pass mode, bitrate
tolerance specifies how far ratecontrol is willing to deviate from the
target average bitrate value. This is not related to min/max
bitrate. Lowering tolerance too much has an adverse effect on quality.

@item flags @var{flags} (@emph{decoding/encoding,audio,video,subtitles})
