Minema Mod uses FFmpeg to encode captured frames into standard codecs / containers. You can find FFmpeg Arguments by going to Mods -> Minema -> Encoding

DNxHR SQ §

-f rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 -s %WIDTH%x%HEIGHT% -r %FPS% -i - -vf %DEFVF% -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_sq -pix_fmt yuv422p %NAME%.mov

PNG Sequence §

-f rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 -s %WIDTH%x%HEIGHT% -r %FPS% -i - -vf %DEFVF% -start_number 0 %NAME%_%04d.png

• Suffix _%04d includes a number format, which formats it to 4 digit number with leading numbers, starts 0000 and ends at 9999, and when it passes 9999, FFmpeg will stop encoding new frames & stop the recording.
• To change the number of digits, change the number 4 in %04d.
• By default, FFmpeg starts IMG sequence output frame counter at number 1, which basically yeets 1 potential frame that could be stored in single recording¹… anyway, in this command, we overwrite to 0 using start_number.

AVC (H.264) §

Folder: AVC (H.264)

x264; slow; crf 23; yuv420p §

-f rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 -s %WIDTH%x%HEIGHT% -r %FPS% -i - -vf %DEFVF% -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 23 -b:v 0 %NAME%.mov

-||- max/buf 8 Mbit/16Mbit §

Ideal for sharing over Discord (I consider 8Mbit to be max comfortable bitrate for Discord)

-f rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 -s %WIDTH%x%HEIGHT% -r %FPS% -i - -vf %DEFVF% -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 23 -b:v 0 -maxrate 8M -bufsize 16M %NAME%.mov
