......@@ -1271,6 +1271,54 @@ follows.
A64 / Commodore 64 multicolor charset encoder. @code{a64_multi5} is extended with 5th color (colram).
@section Cinepak
Cinepak aka CVID encoder.
Compatible with Windows 3.1 and vintage MacOS.
@subsection Options
@table @option
@item keyint_min @var{integer}
Keyframe interval.
A keyframe is inserted every @code{-keyint_min}-th frame.
@item q:v @var{integer}
Quality factor. Lower is better. Higher gives lower bitrate.
The following table lists bitrates when encoding akiyo_cif.y4m for various values of @code{-q:v} with @code{-keyint_min 100}:
@table @option
@item @code{-q:v 1} 1918 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 2} 1735 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 4} 1500 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 10} 1064 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 20} 826 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 40} 553 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 100} 394 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 200} 311 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 400} 266 kb/s
@item @code{-q:v 1000} 237 kb/s
@end table
@item max_extra_cb_iterations @var{integer}
Max extra codebook recalculation passes, more is better and slower.
@item skip_empty_cb @var{boolean}
Avoid wasting bytes, ignore vintage MacOS decoder.
@item max_strips @var{integer}
@itemx min_strips @var{integer}
The minimum and maximum number of strips to use.
Wider range sometimes improves quality.
More strips is generally better quality but costs more bits.
Vintage compatible is 1..3.
@item strip_number_adaptivity @var{integer}
How much number of strips is allowed to change between frames.
Higher is better but slower.
@end table
@section GIF
GIF image/animation encoder.
