defmodule Membrane.H264.FFmpeg.Encoder do
@moduledoc """
Membrane element that encodes raw video frames to H264 format.
The element expects each frame to be received in a separate buffer, so the parser
(`Membrane.Element.RawVideo.Parser`) may be required in a pipeline before
the encoder (e.g. when input is read from `Membrane.File.Source`).
Additionally, the encoder has to receive proper stream_format with picture format and dimensions
before any encoding takes place.
Please check `t:t/0` for available options.

Constant rate factor that affects the quality of output stream.
Value of 0 is lossless compression while 51 (for 8-bit samples)

The range is exponential, so increasing the CRF value +6 results
in roughly half the bitrate / file size, while -6 leads
to roughly twice the bitrate.

Optionally tune the encoder settings for a particular type of source or situation.
See [`x264` encoder's man page](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/x264.1.html) for more info.
Available options are:
- `:film` - use for high quality movie content; lowers deblocking
- `:animation` - good for cartoons; uses higher deblocking and more reference frames
- `:grain` - preserves the grain structure in old, grainy film material
- `:stillimage` - good for slideshow-like content
- `:fastdecode` - allows faster decoding by disabling certain filters
- `:zerolatency` - good for fast encoding and low-latency streaming
