For example, there is:
–aq-strength (x264) — control the strength of adaptive quantization

Is there a way to control the adaptive quantization from the FFMEPG itself? I’m trying to get more details about the parameters that have a high influence on the resulting bitrates when x264 compression is done, and I guess the quantization has dominant role in it. Adaptive quantization seems to have the influence on the resulting bitrates, but what is the algorithm or logic that decides on this adaptivity?

Thank you!

Hello Michael,

I undrestand that much, but I was wondering why the encoder drops or duplicates the frames. Is this related to the frames per second of the input and output files, to the processing capabilities, or to something third?

Thanks!
