>                 Key: GUACAMOLE-1729
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1729
>             Project: Guacamole
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: guacenc
>            Reporter: Robert Scheck
>            Priority: Minor

> As of writing, {{guacenc}} unfortunately only supports the legally encumbered ("non-free") video codec format "mpeg4", which is, due to its nature, not part of Linux distributions such as Fedora as well as CentOS Stream including its downstreams like Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Rocky Linux.
> The idea is to introduce a {{-c <code>}} option to {{guacenc}} to be able to switch between at least two video codec formats, "mpeg4" and "libvpx". And to maintain full backward-compatibility for existing use-cases, {{guacenc}} falls indeed back to "mpeg", if {{-c <codec>}} is not passed.
> My main point is the keep this improvement _small_ to get it soon happen. Extensions can be performed in the future, of course.
