So the question is as follows : first, can anyone confirm or invalidate those informations, preferably with some reason or explanation ? And second, are there any other examples of parameters which should react differently when using one or the other OS ? Or alternatively, is there some way to prevent such incompatibility from occurring ?Īnother example : the -qmin/-qmax parameters would typically accept values ranging from 1 (or 0 ?) to 31, or up to 51 when encoding to H264. One last example : I heard (haven't had a chance to test it out yet, still waiting for Linux to get installed on my machine) that the -qcomp parameter works in Windows only, not in Linux.

But the same person told me that for some reason, they never could set this parameter higher than 30 when encoding on Linux. I heard that, some tests having been made, there were major differences in the way one uses FFMPEG on either OS.įor example, someone told me the -treillis parameter had to be set to 1 whenever one encoded on Windows, or to 0 if encoding on Linux (or maybe the opposite, he wasn't very clear on the subject :S), otherwise the encoding would just plain not work.Īnother example : the -qmin/-qmax parameters would typically accept values ranging from 1 (or 0 ?) to 31, or up to 51 when encoding to H264.

Rather, I have some questions regarding compatibility issues. First of all, sorry for any enthusiast who thought I was about to start a discussion over whether it would be best to use FFMPEG on Windows or Linux.
