Codec\VideoCodec

A string-backed enum naming the video encoder for MediaEncoder::addVideo(). The backing value is the FFmpeg encoder name (or "copy"), so the choice is an output decision that lives on the addVideo() call — not on the stream.

Cases

Case	Backing value	Notes
H264	libx264	H.264 / AVC. Requires FFmpeg built --enable-libx264.
H265	libx265	H.265 / HEVC. Requires --enable-libx265.
VP9	libvpx-vp9	VP9. Requires --enable-libvpx.
Copy	copy	Stream-copy / remux — no re-encode.

If the chosen encoder isn’t built into the running FFmpeg, save() throws EncoderNotFoundException.

Example

use FFmpeg\Codec\VideoCodec;

VideoCodec::H264->value;   // "libx264"
$encoder->addVideo($stream, VideoCodec::Copy);   // remux, no re-encode
