Some of our customers wanted to have full control over the H264 settings because our default ones don’t fit their needs. It’s okay and this is why we decided to bring you all the X264 options (only via API for now).
Add the “x264_options” parameter to your job / download request and you’re ready to go. The form must be:
x264_options=param1:value1,param2:value2,...
See the full documentation here.
We need to warn you: don’t use this option if you don’t know what you’re doing. The default settings we’re using should just be fine for most of you.
Here are the full list of available parameters (ffmpeg names not the x264 ones):

Hope you enjoy.

Hi People,
If you are familiar with big events in the World, you may know Lift Conference for sure. Lift is a series of events built around a community of pioneers who get together in Europe and Asia to explore the social implications of new technologies. Each conference is a chance to turn changes into opportunities by anticipating the major shifts ahead, and meeting the people who drive them.
This year LIFT’09 will take place in Marseille, France, on June 18,19 and 20 with an ambitious and optimistic purpose: “Hands-On Future“. A future where we are all actors of change.
So, we are very proud to be the first partner of the brand new video department of LIFT. HeySpread will power the video activity by mass-uploading and tracking all the video assets from LIFT over the 15 trendiest video sharing platforms.
Thanks to all the Team and especially to Laurent Haug who is the founder and CEO of the Lift Conference.
