Dump libx264 encoding parameters in ffmpeg

Question

Is it possible to get a list of parameter values used in libx264 while encoding a stream? I am using a ffmpeg binary to encode.

Answer 1

I am going to answer my own question: Just check the the console output during encoding. ffmpeg will show libx264 parameters as a string.

For finished videos use strings command:

$ strings output.mkv | grep x264
