All encoders support the following options:

+@table @option
+@item low_power
Some drivers/platforms offer a second encoder for some codecs intended to use
less power than the default encoder; setting this option will attempt to use
that encoder. Note that it may support a reduced feature set, so some other
options may not be available in this mode.

+@item idr_interval
+Set the number of normal intra frames between full-refresh (IDR) frames in
+open-GOP mode. The intra frames are still IRAPs, but will not include global
+headers and may have non-decodable leading pictures.
+
+@item b_depth
+Set the B-frame reference depth. When set to one (the default), all B-frames
+will refer only to P- or I-frames. When set to greater values multiple layers
+of B-frames will be present, frames in each layer only referring to frames in
+higher layers.

Each encoder also has its own specific options:
