Avanti template replacement
Note that this template replacement is only applicable on Avanti versions up to 0.7.1. Later versions dropped support for older FFmpeg builds.
Changes in the FFmpeg -flags and -flags2 commands.
From February 2012 up, FFmpeg dramatically thins out the -flags and -flags2 options. These options are now available as single commands. Most of them are still flags which can be set to 0 (off) or 1 (on).
Old flags options New replacements
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-flags obmc -> -obmc [0, 1]
-flags part -> -data_partitioning [0, 1]
-flags alt -> -alternate_scan [0, 1]
-flags umv -> -umv [0, 1]
-flags aiv -> -aiv [0, 1]
-flags slice -> -thread_type [slice, frame]
-flags scan_offset -> -scan_offset [?]
Old flags2 options New replacements
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-flags2 bpyramid -> -b-pyramid [none, strict, normal]
-flags2 wpred -> -weightb [0, 1]
-flags2 mixed_refs -> -mixed-refs [0, 1]
-flags2 dct8x8 -> -8x8dct [0, 1]
-flags2 fastpskip -> -fast-pskip [0, 1]
-flags2 aud -> -aud [0, 1]
-flags2 ivlc -> -intra_vlc [0, 1]
-flags2 drop_frame_timecode -> -drop_frame_timecode [0, 1]
-flags2 non_linear_q -> -non_linear_quant [0, 1]
-flags2 reservoir -> -reservoir [0, 1]
-flags2 mbtree -> -mbtree [0, 1]
-flags2 psy -> -psy [0, 1]
-flags2 ssim -> -ssim [0, 1]
-flags2 intra_refresh -> -intra-refresh [0, 1]
Avanti version 0.6.7 and higher contains a number of templates which are
adapted to these changes. This means you'll get a FFmpeg error with these
templates when you use a FFmpeg build, released before February 2012.
You can overwrite the templates with the contents of the "flags_mods_old" or
"flags_mods_new" folder (in the zip below), depending on the FFmpeg version you use.
