Since codecs are the backbone of FFMPEG, it is beneficial to know how to access the full list of supported codecs. The command is as follows:
$ ffmpeg -codecs
Be aware that the output from this command will show hundreds of codecs for both audio and video. For the full list of supported codecs, refer to the section TBD in the back of this book.
