Syntax: x264 [options] -o outfile infile [widthxheight] | |
Infile can be raw YUV 4:2:0 (in which case resolution is required), | |
or YUV4MPEG 4:2:0 (*.y4m), | |
or Avisynth if compiled with support (no). | |
or libav* formats if compiled with lavf support (no) or ffms support (no). | |
Outfile type is selected by filename: | |
.264 -> Raw bytestream | |

Hi, can you help me solve the problem:
unanimated/luaegisub#8
But how did you actually make ffmpeg output this help message?
I did
ffmpeg -help x264 --fullhelp
but it is just an error.
