Stack Encode supports ffmpeg setting profiles in the form of YAML files. There are 3 different hashes for the following settings:
- video settings - used for transcoding video files
- audio settings - used for transcoding audio files
- transcoder settings - general transcoder settings
This is an example profile file for stack-encode (my_profile.yml):
---
video:
resolution: 320x480
frame_rate: 10
x264_vprofile: high
x264_preset: slow
audio_codec: libfaac
custom: -movflags +faststart
audio:
audio_channels: 1
custom: -ab 48k
transcoder:
preserve_aspect_ratio: :widthYou can use the profile from above like this:
$ stack-encode encode --profile my_profile.yml audio_file.wmaContributing
