Is there a “List Codecs” command?
(I’m running SuSE 11.4)
In the ffmpeg command,
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 15 -s 1280x972 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 0 namethevideo.avi
I saw a codec mentioned (-acodec pcm_s16le) and was wondering if I could use any other of my codecs instead or if the one in the command is the only one that you have to use?
I know that when using Avidemux, I have to set the audio to aac (Faac) for the sound to work in the video. But now I’m wondering that if my captured destop video were to be uploaded to a storage site and any in my audience didn’t have the aac codec, they might be able to see the video but not be able to hear the sound. (I’ve come across such a problem myself in the past when I didn’t have that codec installed yet and was unaware of that).
