/**
 * SECTION:element-x264enc
 * @see_also: faac
 *
 * This element encodes raw video into H264 compressed data,
 * also otherwise known as MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Codec).
 *
 * The #GstX264Enc:pass property controls the type of encoding.  In case of Constant
 * Bitrate Encoding (actually ABR), the #GstX264Enc:bitrate will determine the quality
 * of the encoding.  This will similarly be the case if this target bitrate
 * is to obtained in multiple (2 or 3) pass encoding.
 * Alternatively, one may choose to perform Constant Quantizer or Quality encoding,
 * in which case the #GstX264Enc:quantizer property controls much of the outcome, in that case #GstX264Enc:bitrate is the maximum bitrate.
 *
 * The H264 profile that is eventually used depends on a few settings.
 * If #GstX264Enc:dct8x8 is enabled, then High profile is used.
 * Otherwise, if #GstX264Enc:cabac entropy coding is enabled or #GstX264Enc:bframes
 * are allowed, then Main Profile is in effect, and otherwise Baseline profile
 * applies.  The main profile is imposed by default,
 * which is fine for most software players and settings,
 * but in some cases (e.g. hardware platforms) a more restricted profile/level
 * may be necessary. The recommended way to set a profile is to set it in the
 * downstream caps.
 *
 * If a preset/tuning are specified then these will define the default values and
 * the property defaults will be ignored. After this the option-string property is
 * applied, followed by the user-set properties, fast first pass restrictions and
 * finally the profile restrictions.
 *
 * <note>Some settings, including the default settings, may lead to quite
 * some latency (i.e. frame buffering) in the encoder. This may cause problems
 * with pipeline stalling in non-trivial pipelines, because the encoder latency
 * is often considerably higher than the default size of a simple queue
 * element. Such problems are caused by one of the queues in the other
 * non-x264enc streams/branches filling up and blocking upstream. They can
 * be fixed by relaxing the default time/size/buffer limits on the queue
 * elements in the non-x264 branches, or using a (single) multiqueue element
 * for all branches. Also see the last example below.
 * </note>
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Example pipeline</title>
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v videotestsrc num-buffers=1000 ! x264enc qp-min=18 ! \
 *   avimux ! filesink location=videotestsrc.avi
 * ]| This example pipeline will encode a test video source to H264 muxed in an
 * AVI container, while ensuring a sane minimum quantization factor to avoid
 * some (excessive) waste.
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v videotestsrc num-buffers=1000 ! x264enc pass=quant ! \
 *   matroskamux ! filesink location=videotestsrc.avi
 * ]| This example pipeline will encode a test video source to H264 using fixed
 * quantization, and muxes it in a Matroska container.
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v videotestsrc num-buffers=1000 ! x264enc pass=5 quantizer=25 speed-preset=6 ! video/x-h264, profile=baseline ! \
 *   qtmux ! filesink location=videotestsrc.mov
 * ]| This example pipeline will encode a test video source to H264 using
 * constant quality at around Q25 using the 'medium' speed/quality preset and
 * restricting the options used so that the output is H.264 Baseline Profile
 * compliant and finally multiplexing the output in Quicktime mov format.
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v videotestsrc num-buffers=1000 ! tee name=t ! queue ! xvimagesink \
 *   t. ! queue ! x264enc rc-lookahead=5 ! fakesink
 * ]| This example pipeline will encode a test video source to H264 while
 * displaying the input material at the same time.  As mentioned above,
 * specific settings are needed in this case to avoid pipeline stalling.
 * Depending on goals and context, other approaches are possible, e.g.
 * tune=zerolatency might be configured, or queue sizes increased.
