This is equivalent to a median filter. 5 – Line-sensitive clipping giving the minimal change. 6 – Line-sensitive clipping, intermediate. 7 – Line-sensitive clipping, intermediate. 8 – Line-sensitive clipping, intermediate. 9 – Line-sensitive clipping on a line where the neighbours pixels are the closest. 10 – Replaces the target pixel with the closest neighbour. 11 – [1 2 1] horizontal and vertical kernel blur. 12 – Same as mode 11. 13 – Bob mode, interpolates top field from the line where the neighbours pixels are the closest. 14 – Bob mode, interpolates bottom field from the line where the neighbours pixels are the closest. 15 – Bob mode, interpolates top field. Same as 13 but with a more complicated interpolation formula. 16 – Bob mode, interpolates bottom field. Same as 14 but with a more complicated interpolation formula. 17 – Clips the pixel with the minimum and maximum of respectively the maximum and minimum of each pair of opposite neighbour pixels. 18 – Line-sensitive clipping using opposite neighbours whose greatest distance from the current pixel is minimal. 19 – Replaces the pixel with the average of its 8 neighbours. 20 – Averages the 9 pixels ([1 1 1] horizontal and vertical blur). 21 – Clips pixels using the averages of opposite neighbour. 22 – Same as mode 21 but simpler and faster. 23 – Small edge and halo removal, but reputed useless. | none |

Remux / track passthrough / copy
Using the 'copy' parameter value will retain all original source settings in the output and ignore any additional parameters. For most codecs, this will result in a remux instead of a decode/encode cycle, passing through the original video stream.
Dolby Audio compatibility
'flv' output with ‘vp6‘ video codec is incompatible with the ‘dolby_audio‘ audio codec.
For size parameter
You can specify only one dimension: either width or height. In this case, set other dimension to 0. (I.e. 640×0). The output will be set to match the same aspect as the source.
For framerate_upper_threshold parameter
If framerate_upper_threshold is specified then the framerate parameter will be ignored.
For muxrate parameter
- <muxrate /> parameter works only for mpeg-ts output format.
- It's not recommended to use along with <bitrate />, <maxrate />, <minrate />, and <bufsize /> parameters as the output may be invalid.
For video_only parameter
<video_only /> parameter works only for mp4, mainconcept_mxf and advanced multibitrate output formats.
For color_primaries, transfer_characteristics, and matrix_coefficients parameters
<color_primaries />, <transfer_characteristics />, and <matrix_coefficients /> parameters are supported only in mov, cablelabs_mpegts, mxf, and apple_prores output formats.
For video_tag parameter
<video_tag > parameter available only for mxf output format.
For mxf_profile and mxf_multiplex_type parameters
<mxf_profile > and <mxf_multiplex_type > parameters available only for mainconcept_mxf output format.
