+
+Encoders are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow the encoding of
+multimedia streams.
+
+When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported native encoders
+are enabled by default. Encoders requiring an external library must be enabled
+manually via the corresponding @code{--enable-lib} option. You can list all
+available encoders using the configure option @code{--list-encoders}.
+
+You can disable all the encoders with the configure option
+@code{--disable-encoders} and selectively enable / disable single encoders
+with the options @code{--enable-encoder=@var{ENCODER}} /
+@code{--disable-encoder=@var{ENCODER}}.
+
+The option @code{-codecs} of the ff* tools will display the list of
+enabled encoders.
