Will ffmpeg options pass through be implemented? #23

Closed 69dragons closed 4 years ago

I like having the option of using Handbrake pass through flags in transcode-video. I am just wondering if something similar is in the works for other-transcode-video?

@69dragons Thank you for your question.

I don't plan on allowing options to be passed through other-transcode to ffmpeg. This isn't practical because of the incredibly complicated command line syntax of ffmpeg. That syntax allows not only multiple inputs but multiple outputs. And options can be placed between those inputs and outputs making the argument order significant. This is further compounded by ffmpeg's filter syntax and its argument order restrictions.

If you want that kind of control, you should really be using ffmpeg directly.

I hope that answers your question.

It does, so I will use the dry run to get the video opts and synthesize the audio and subtitle opts on the fly.

Thank you for your help in that regard and your fast response.
