.SH "NAME"
ffmpeg\-scaler \- FFmpeg video scaling and pixel format converter
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The FFmpeg rescaler provides a high-level interface to the libswscale
library image conversion utilities. In particular it allows one to perform
image rescaling and pixel format conversion.
.SH "SCALER OPTIONS"
.IX Header "SCALER OPTIONS"
The video scaler supports the following named options.
.PP
Options may be set by specifying \-\fIoption\fR \fIvalue\fR in the
FFmpeg tools, with a few API-only exceptions noted below.
For programmatic use, they can be set explicitly in the
\&\f(CW\*(C`SwsContext\*(C'\fR options or through the \fIlibavutil/opt.h\fR \s-1API.\s0
.IP "\fBsws_flags\fR" 4
.IX Item "sws_flags"
Set the scaler flags. This is also used to set the scaling
algorithm. Only a single algorithm should be selected. Default
value is \fBbicubic\fR.
.Sp
It accepts the following values:

Select sinc rescaling algorithm.
.IP "\fBlanczos\fR" 4
.IX Item "lanczos"
Select Lanczos rescaling algorithm. The default width (alpha) is 3 and can be
changed by setting \f(CW\*(C`param0\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fBspline\fR" 4
.IX Item "spline"
Select natural bicubic spline rescaling algorithm.
.IP "\fBprint_info\fR" 4
.IX Item "print_info"
Enable printing/debug logging.
