Better support for other codecs (VP9, SVT-AV1, H.266, ProRes,...)

[Pete4K]

It would have been great, if it would be possible to use better support for VP9 = libvpx-vp9, H.266 = libvvenc, SVT-AV1 = libsvtav1, ProRes,... to have better speed and with this better support. At the moment H.266 fails and SVT-AV1 and VP9 is extremely slow (0.26 frames/sec), ProRes doesn't exist I think. With its support the software would grow and would be one of the first that really supports H.266 (better compression than H.265 and better quality, but it is generally still slow in compressing).

The codec supports are provided by FFmpeg's C libraries (libavformat, libavcodec, etc.). Whether it supports H.266 and such depends on the FFmpeg it's built with.

Ok, normally it should work in the libraries I think. So it can't be faster with the Codecs. Or does it work when the other ffmpeg topic is solved?

[Pete4K]

Or could this be added like a ffmpeg "filter"?

[k4yt3x]

How fast the encoding is and which encoders are supported is entirely internal to FFmpeg. I don't have the power to add or remove support for encoders beyond what it comes with. I also can't optimize their speed or anything. The only thing I can control is the settings passed to them which you can set in the encoder options like bitrate, CRF, etc. If you want improvements beyond that it need to be done on FFmpeg's end.

I don't think filters can help encoding in any way.

[Pete4K]

Ok, no Problem.

[Pete4K]

Ok the filters would be already very helpful.
