By default, SharpAvi Motion JPEG encoder is used.
Use sharpavi:<index> as argument. index is a zero-based index identifying the encoder.
You can use captura-cli list to check encoder indices.
e.g.
captura-cli start --encoder sharpavi:0
Use mf as argument.
e.g.
captura-cli start --encoder mf
Use ffmpeg:<index> as argument. index is a zero-based index identifying the encoder.
You can use captura-cli list to check encoder indices.
e.g.
captura-cli start --encoder ffmpeg:0
Use stream:<url> as argument. url is the rtmp url of the streaming service.
e.g. Stream to Twitch
captura-cli start --encoder stream:rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/TWITCH_KEY
Use steps:video and steps:images as encoder for Steps recording mode.
captura-cli start --encoder steps:video
captura-cli start --encoder steps:images
