vendor	enum `ap10`	Insert this string as a "Vendor String" for those containers/packages that support it (such as MOV and MP4).
movflags	string	The FFmpeg movflags. See https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html for more information.
muxrate_kb	integer	The multiplexer rate - only valid for MPEG transport streams. Omit to keep M2TS padding at a minimum.
mux_warnings	enum `as_errors` `ignore`	Allow to complete jobs which otherwise are failing based on multiplexer warnings.
faststart	boolean	Enable progressive download for .mov and .mp4 files.
transport_id	integer	Set the TS Transport ID - only used for MPEG transport streams. maximum: `8190`
use_sdt	boolean	Whether or not to include a Service Description Table in the target Transport Stream. MediaInfo will display this as "Menu."
pcr_pid	integer	Set the PCR PID - only used for MPEG transport streams. maximum: `8190`
pmt_pid	integer	Set the PMT PID - only used for MPEG transport streams. maximum: `8190`
pcr_interval_ms	integer	Set the PCR interval - only used for MPEG transport streams. minimum: `20` maximum: `1000`
pmt_interval_ms	integer	Set the PMT interval - only used for MPEG transport streams. minimum: `20` maximum: `1000`
pat_interval_ms	integer	Set the PAT interval - only used for MPEG transport streams. minimum: `20` maximum: `1000`
ts_offset_ms	number	Set the ts offset in the output file.
segment_duration_sec	number	The segment duration in seconds for segmented or fragmented streams such as HLS or mp4/MPEG-DASH. Decimal notation (e.g. 5.5) is supported.
vframe_align_segment_duration	boolean	Ensure segment duration is an integer multiple of the frame duration. default: `true`
auto_speed_change_delta_percent	number	If the frame rate delta is larger than this value, do not attempt to speed-change. Default: just allows 29.97->30 and 23.97-24 speed changes
align_to_av_media	boolean	For subtitles only, align duration and segmenting to A/V media time.
references_location	object	The location of payload files for containers having external references.
title	string	An optional title. Note that not all multiplexers support adding a title.
author	string	An optional author. Note that not all multiplexers support adding an author.
copyright	string	An optional copyright string. Note that not all multiplexers support adding a copyright string.
info_url	string	An optional info URL string. Note that not all multiplexers support adding a URL.
filters	array	An array defining the filters to be applied at the container level.
attributes	array	Container attributes. The specific meaning depends on container format. For dash-mp4 for example, these can be mpd xpath replacements.
enable_data_tracks	boolean	By default, data tracks, such as time code, in mov are disabled/unchecked. This will enable all such tracks.
mov_atoms	object	Override container or all-track MOV atoms.
dvd_compatible	boolean	Enables constraints making enhancing DVD compatibility. Applies to kind='mp2_program/dvd/vob' only.
brand	string	Setting the ftyp of a mp4/mov/3g file. Example: '3gp5'.
compatible_brands	array	Appending to compatible ftyp(s) of a mp4/mov/3g file. Example: '["3gp5"]'.

See the MainConcept documentation for details.
mainconcept_mux_options	string	Provide direct instruction to the MainConcept multiplexer. Values are constructed as "prop=val,prop=val". See MainConcept documentation for valid values.
scte35	oneOf scte35_in_source scte35_in_sidecar scte35_in_json	Settings to control the insertion of SCTE35 markers into the output.
