Description

First off, I apologize for my poor English. I'm not very fluent, and I hope my question isn't too naive. I don't know much about how RIFE really works.

Let's say I want to interpolate a video that uses the H.264 codec. After the interpolation process, the video ends up using the MPEG-4 codec. This not only changes the codec from H.264 but also affects the bitrate and quality. I was wondering if it's possible to choose a different codec instead of MPEG, as well as adjust output parameters like CRF, etc. (By the way, I'm using Practical RIFE on Google Colab.)

This is the command I'm currently using

!python3 inference_video.py --multi=3 --video=video.mp4

Research direction

Review inference_video.py and the shown command to locate how output video encoding is configured. Determine whether codec, bitrate, and CRF are already selectable, then document the supported invocation or verify the required change by checking the generated video's encoding settings.
