Definition: "VCR2000.lircd.conf" is a file used by VLC Media Player for managing video codecs and settings in a Linux-based system. This conf file can contain various options, parameters, and configurations related to different types of video codecs.
Here's a detailed explanation:
-
Section 1:
Video Output Type:
- `OutputType`: Defines the output format for video files. Possible values include "video", "audio", "video24" etc.
-
Options:
- `0` (Default) - Always use native encoding
- `24` - Use H.264 for 1920x1080 and above resolutions
- `36` - Use H.265 for 1280x720 and above resolutions, but not 30 fps
- `60` - Use H.264 for 1280x720 and above resolutions with 60 fps
- `960p` - Use H.265 for 1280x720, 60 fps, and 960p resolution
-
Section 2:
Video Output Settings:
-
Frames per second (fps):
A number between 0 and 30 indicating how many frames are produced per second
-
Frame size (bits):
Specifies the bit rate in bits-per-second for video output. This affects resolution scaling and can impact video quality.
-
Video bitrate:
- `128` or `960`: Used to set a higher minimum video frame size
- `640`: Used to set a lower maximum video frame size
-
Section 3:
Audio Output Settings:
-
Bit rate (bits/second):
A number between 0 and 256 indicating the minimum audio bit rate required. For audio encoding, this is usually smaller than the video output.
-
Sample size (bits):
The actual number of samples to use for each sample in an audio track.
-
Section 4:
Video Codec:
- `OutputFormat` - Determines the format in which a video file should be stored. Options include "video" or "audio".
- `VideoEncoding` - Specifies the encoding algorithm used to encode the video output.
- `AudioEncoding` - Specifies the encoding algorithm used to encode the audio output.
This conf file is crucial for configuring various video codecs and settings in a Linux-based system, allowing VLC Media Player to efficiently handle these codecs.
