how to pass options to ffmpeg?

[loddar66]

Hi, when it comes to merging the streams into one mkv container, ffmpeg already does a decent job. But I did not find out how to finetune the settings to better fit my needs when it e.g. comes to bitrate etc.
The documentation says:
You can specify specific built-in presets with the --ffmpeg-preset flag to convert videos to a specific coding while downloading. Multiple predefined presets how videos should be encoded (h264, h265, av1, ...) are available, you can see them with crunchy-cli download --help. If you need more specific ffmpeg customizations you could either convert the output file manually or use ffmpeg output arguments as value for this flag.
What's the exact syntax of the 'output arguments' to be passe to ffmpeg? I would like to use something like "-c:v h264_amf -preset fast -b:v 3000k" instead of the built-in --ffmpeg-preset option.

Thanks in advance!

Its --ffmpeg-preset="-c:v h264_amf -preset fast -b:v 3000k"

So a full command could be:

$ crunchy-cli download --ffmpeg-preset="-c:v h264_amf -preset fast -b:v 3000k" https://www.crunchyroll.com/watch/GRDKJZ81Y/alone-and-lonesome
