hi guys , i am starting to open tube sites like youtube and other videos sites ,

what encoder you think should i use ? i care about the quality and also Bandwidth very Important to me ,

do you think we can use x264 ? if yes then any Documentation we can read about using x264 encoder for such sites ?

as you know most of this sites use FFmpeg for Encoding Part after user upload the video , what i want ask about is this > is FFmpeg a good option we have here ? Can we use X264 Instead ?

You're comparing apples to oranges. FFMPEG per se is not an encoder, while x264 is.

Are you asking if you can get better results using a standalone x264.exe directly rather than a version of it accessible through FFMPEG, then I would answer, possibly, depending on the settings and constraints you have. It depends on which version of the encoder that FFMPEG uses and the settings that it exposes.

Why don't you try it?

I haven't actually checked out the code but they will most likely be using x264 through ffmpeg. Results should be the same as using x264cli -directly.

/edit: neuron2 beat me to it.
