## Extra codec options
## Persistence in dataset metadata
The `extra_options` dictionary:
After the first episode of a video stream is encoded, the encoder configuration is **persisted into the dataset metadata** (`meta/info.json`) under each video feature, alongside the values probed from the file itself. For a video feature `observation.images.<camera>`, the layout in `info.json` is:
- Is merged **after** the structured options. Keys already set by `g`, `crf`, `preset`, etc. are **not** replaced by `extra_options`.
- Accepts strings or numbers, as expected by FFmpeg. Numeric values are validated when the codec exposes option metadata.
```json
{
"features": {
"observation.images.laptop": {
"dtype": "video",
"shape": [480, 640, 3],
"info": {
"video.height": 480,
"video.width": 640,
"video.codec": "h264",
"video.pix_fmt": "yuv420p",
"video.fps": 30,
"video.channels": 3,
"video.is_depth_map": false,
"video.g": 2,
"video.crf": 30,
"video.preset": "fast",
"video.fast_decode": 0,
"video.video_backend": "pyav",
"video.extra_options": {"tune": "film", "profile:v": "high", "bf": 2}
}
}
}
}
```
Two sources contribute to the `info` block:
- **Stream-derived** (read back from the encoded MP4 with PyAV): `video.height`, `video.width`, `video.codec`, `video.pix_fmt`, `video.fps`, `video.channels`, `video.is_depth_map`, plus `audio.*` if an audio stream is present.
- **Encoder-derived** (taken from `VideoEncoderConfig`): `video.g`, `video.crf`, `video.preset`, `video.fast_decode`, `video.video_backend`, `video.extra_options`.
<Tip>
This block is populated **once**, from the **first** episode. It assumes every episode in the dataset was encoded with the same `camera_encoder`. Changing encoder settings partway through a recording is not supported — the `info.json` will only reflect the parameters used for the first episode.
</Tip>

## Merging datasets
When aggregating datasets with `merge_datasets`, video files are concatenated as-is (no re-encoding), and encoder fields in `info.json` are merged per-key:
- **Stream-derived fields must match** across sources: `video.codec`, `video.pix_fmt`, `video.height`, `video.width`, `video.fps`. Otherwise FFmpeg's concat demuxer fails.
- **Encoder-tuning fields are merged loosely**: `video.g`, `video.crf`, `video.preset`, `video.fast_decode`, `video.extra_options`. If every source agrees, the value is kept; if not, it's set to `null` (or `{}` for `video.extra_options`) and a warning is logged.
