lexy VS staxrip

lexy (https://lexy.foonathan.net/)

https://github.com/foonathan/lexy nakon sto sam se propatio sa errorima od boost spirita, a pegtl mi se nije svidao, ovaj library je dosao kao odusevljenje, a i dokumentacija je iznenadujuce ok

In general, LALR parser generators are more difficult to work with than RD parser combinators. Instead of flex and bison, I'd recommend checking out Boost.Spirit or lexy.

This might be closer: https://github.com/foonathan/lexy

lexy has something like std::bind with a way to specify fallback values for the placeholders if the arguments aren't provided: lexy::_1.or_default(fallback)

Its literally a feature of all the underlying encoders. And you can do it even with exotic ffmpeg/vapoursynth filter chains. So I can't imagine why.

TBH I would just recommend Staxrip if you are on Windows: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

There is a linux equivalent, I can't remember what its called.

Or maybe some av1an GUI for Mac/Linux. All of these things support a target file size with many more features.

Since ffmpeg CLI still makes me pull ny hair out, I am going to plug vapoursynth:

https://www.vapoursynth.com/

Its Pythonic video filters... But also so much more: https://vsdb.top/

And Staxrip, which makes such good use of ffmpeg, vapoursynth, and dozens of other encoders and tools that I reboot from linux to Windows just to use it: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

2-4: I use StaxRip to encode the video because it includes the QTGMC deinterlacer, which is from my research a very good deinterlacer that produces less artifacts in the video than other deinterlacers like the one included in HandBrake.

But I actually got through it and found a great solution for myself using StaxRip and an updated QSVEnc by Rigaya. Replace StaxRip's outdated QSVEnc with the updated Rigaya QSVEnc.
