Thus, use '-vcodec mpeg4' to encode these formats. The +default fourcc stored in a MPEG-4-coded file will be 'DIVX'. If you want +a different fourcc, use the '-vtag' option. E.g., '-vtag xvid' will +force the fourcc 'xvid' to be stored as the video fourcc rather than the +default. + @chapter Development @section Are there examples illustrating how to use the FFmpeg libraries, particularly libavcodec and libavformat ? |
