############################ FFmpeg Documentation Tips ############################
-metadata[:metadata_specifier] key=value (output,per-metadata)
For example, for setting the title in the output file:
ffmpeg -i in.avi -metadata title="my title" out.flv
To set the language of the first audio stream:
ffmpeg -i INPUT -metadata:s:a:0 language=eng OUTPUT
-disposition[:stream_specifier] value (output,per-stream)
For example, to make the second audio stream the default stream:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -c copy -disposition:a:1 default out.mkv
To make the second subtitle stream the default stream and remove the default disposition from the first subtitle stream:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -c copy -default_mode infer_no_subs -disposition:s:0 0 -disposition:s:1 default out.mkv
"-preset" provides the compression to encoding speed ratio. Use the slowest preset you can.
"-bufsize" sets the buffer size, and can be 1-2 seconds for most gaming screencasts, and up to 5 seconds for more static content.
If you use "-maxrate" 960k then use a "-bufsize" of 960k-1920k. You will have to experiment to see what looks best for your content.
"-g" Use a 2 second GOP (Group of Pictures), so simply multiply your output frame rate * 2.
For example, if your input is -framerate 30, then use -g 60
"-crf 0", short for “constant rate factor,” is used to tell the libx264 encoder to use “lossless mode.”

The film industry generally chooses 24 FPS in film capturing and production.

1:1 HWACCEL Transcode with Scaling
The following command reads file input.mp4 and transcodes it to output.mp4 with H.264 video at 720p resolution and with the same audio codec. The following command uses the built in resizer in cuvid decoder.
ffmpeg -y -vsync 0 -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda –resize 1280x720 -i input.mp4 -c:a copy -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 5M output.mp4
There is a built-in cropper in cuvid decoder as well. The following command illustrates the use of cropping. (-crop (top)x(bottom)x(left)x(right))

#?????????? VFR (variable frame-rate) ???????????
#?????????? ???????????
Frustrated that you hadnt found an answer either, I was going to at least answer other peoples questions about how to enable VFR (not VBR) output from FFMPEG.
The answer to that is the oddly named -vsync option. You can set it to a few different options, but the one you want is "2" or vfr. From the man page:
-vsync parameter
Video sync method. For compatibility reasons old values can be specified as numbers. Newly added values will have to be specified as strings always.
0, passthrough
Each frame is passed with its timestamp from the demuxer to the muxer.
1, cfr
Frames will be duplicated and dropped to achieve exactly the requested constant frame rate.
2, vfr
Frames are passed through with their timestamp or dropped so as to prevent 2 frames from having the same timestamp.
drop
As passthrough but destroys all timestamps, making the muxer generate fresh timestamps based on frame-rate.
-1, auto
Chooses between 1 and 2 depending on muxer capabilities. This is the default method.
Note that the timestamps may be further modified by the muxer, after this. For example, in the case that the format option avoid_negative_ts is enabled.
With -map you can select from which stream the timestamps should be taken. You can leave either video or audio unchanged and sync the remaining stream(s) to the unchanged one.
However, I dont quite have enough reputation to post a comment to just answer that "sub-question" that everyone seems to be having. But I did have a few ideas that I wasnt honestly very optimistic about... But the first one I tried actually worked. So.
You simply need to combine the -vsync 2 option with the -r $maxfps option, of course where you replace $maxfps with the maximum framerate you want! And it WORKS! It doesnt duplicate frames from a source file, but it will drop frames that cause the file to go over the maximum framerate!
By default it seems that -r $maxfps by itself just causes it to duplicate/drop frames to achieve a constant framerate, and -vsync 2 by itself causes it to pull the frames in directly without really affecting the PTS values.
I wasnt optimistic about this because I already knew that -r $maxfps puts it at a constant framerate. I honestly expected an error or for it to just obey whichever came first or last or whatever. The fact that it does exactly what I wanted makes me quite pleased with the FFMPEG developers.

#################### Methods of Reducing file size with FFmpeg ####################
# https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/EncodingForStreamingSites
##### Modify the bitrate, using:
ffmpeg -i $infile -b $bitrate $newoutfile
##### Vary the Constant Rate Factor, using:
ffmpeg -i $infile -vcodec libx264 -crf 23 $outfile
##### Change/scale the video screen-size (for example to 1080p or half its pixel size):
ffmpeg -i $infile -vf "scale=iw/2:ih/2" $outfile
# This method takes care of error: (libx264) "height not divisible by 2"
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20847674/ffmpeg-libx264-height-not-divisible-by-2
# https://superuser.com/questions/624563/how-to-resize-a-video-to-make-it-smaller-with-ffmpeg
ffmpeg -y -i "input.mp4" \
-map 0:v -map 0:a -dn -map_chapters -1 -filter:v scale="1920:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" \
-movflags faststart -profile:v high -pix_fmt yuv420p -metadata:s:a:0 language=eng \
-c:v libx264 -c:a copy "output.mp4"
##### Another one but different
ffmpeg -y -i "input.mp4" -map 0:v -map 0:a \
-dn -map_chapters -1 -metadata:s:v:0 handler_name= -metadata:s:a:0 handler_name= \
-vf pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2 -movflags faststart -profile:v high -pix_fmt yuv420p \
-metadata:s:a:0 language=eng -c:v libx264 -c:a copy "output.mp4"
##### Change the H.264 profile to "baseline", using:
ffmpeg -i $infile -profile:v baseline $outfile
Use the default ffmpeg processing, using:
ffmpeg -i $infile $outfile
##### Bitrate Guidelines:
# Calculate the bitrate you need by dividing your target size (in bits) by the video length (in seconds). For example for a target size of 1 GB (one giga<em>byte</em>, which is 8 giga<em>bits</em>) and 10,000 seconds of video (2 h 46 min 40 s), use a bitrate of 800 000 bit/s (800 kbit/s):
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -b 800k output.mp4
##### example 1:
# ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libx264 -preset medium -b:v 3000k -maxrate 3000k -bufsize 6000k \
# -vf "scale=1280:-1,format=yuv420p" -g 50 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 file.flv

##### Concatenation https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate
for f in ./*.mkv; do echo "file '$f'" >> mylist.txt; done
##### Note that these can be either relative or absolute paths. Then you can stream copy or re-encode your files:
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i "mylist.txt" "output.mkv"
##### Concatenate multiple media files
for f in ./*.mkv; do echo "file '$f'" >> mylist.txt; done
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i "mylist.txt" -b 4292k -c copy "Top.Gear.Patagonia.Special.1080p.mkv"
##### Map only English audio stream and English subtitle streams if it exists
for f in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -y -i "$f" -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:m:language:eng -map 0:s:m:language:eng? -codec:v copy -codec:a copy -codec:s srt "../../../../temp/ffmpeg-vcodec/.working/${f/x265/x264}"; done
##### Dont set any subtitle streams as default or forced
for f in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -y -i "$f" -default_mode infer_no_subs -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:s:m:language:eng? -disposition:s 0 -codec copy "$f"; done
-default_mode
This option controls how the FlagDefault of the output tracks will be set. It influences which tracks players should play by default. The default mode is ‘infer’.
'infer'
In this mode, for each type of track (audio, video or subtitle), if there is a track with disposition default of this type, then the first such track (i.e. the one with the lowest index) will be marked as default; if no such track exists, the first track of this type will be marked as default instead (if existing). This ensures that the default flag is set in a sensible way even if the input originated from containers that lack the concept of default tracks.
'infer_no_subs'
This mode is the same as infer except that if no subtitle track with disposition default exists, no subtitle track will be marked as default.
'passthrough'
In this mode the FlagDefault is set if and only if the AV_DISPOSITION_DEFAULT flag is set in the disposition of the corresponding stream.
##### Sync multiple audios streams
