背景
创建 x264 编码器后，其有一组默认的编码器配置参数，也可以根据需要修改参数，来满足编码要求。
具体参数
可修改的参数，比较多，这边只列举一些常用的。
获取可以配置的参数
方式1
查看 ffmpeg源码 libx264.c，其中
static const AVOption options[] = {xx}；这表示其可修改的参数，其他编码器类似。

常用参数讲解
preset
主要调节编码速度和质量的平衡
可以设置的值，{ "ultrafast", "superfast", "veryfast", "faster", "fast", "medium", "slow", "slower", "veryslow", "placebo", 0 };
如何获取可以设置哪些值，看注释是编译 x264，然后运行 x264 --fullhelp 可以看到。我这边嫌麻烦没有编译，看 x264 源码获取的
tune
主要配合视频类型和视觉优化的参数
可以设置的值，{ "film", "animation", "grain", "stillimage", "psnr", "ssim", "fastdecode", "zerolatency", 0 };
film： 电影、真人类型；
animation： 动画；
grain： 需要保留大量的grain时用；
psnr： 为提高psnr做了优化的参数；
ssim： 为提高ssim做了优化的参数；
fastdecode： 可以快速解码的参数；
zerolatency：零延迟，用在需要非常低的延迟的情况下，比如电视电话会议的编码。
profile
支持一组特定的编码功能，并支持一类特定的应用
x264_profile_names[] = { "baseline", "main", "high", "high10", "high422", "high444", 0 };
baseline：基本画质。支持I/P 帧，只支持无交错（Progressive）和CAVLC；
main：主流画质。提供I/P/B 帧，支持无交错（Progressive）和交错（Interlaced），也支持CAVLC 和CABAC 的支持；
high：高级画质。在main Profile 的基础上增加了8x8内部预测、自定义量化、 无损视频编码和更多的YUV 格式；
level
每个profile 都规定了一个算法特征和限制的子集，任何遵守某个profile 的解码器都应该支持与其相应的子集。
每个level都规定了一组对标准中语法成员（syntax element）所采用的各种参数值的限制。
nal-hrd
码率控制方式 。
none ------ 不使用 hrd
vbr ------ 可变码率
cbr ------ 稳定码率
crf
qp
psy
rc-lookahead
