# Encoding

None of the maintainers of this wiki know how to encode, so we won't be covering this topic. Best we can do is redirect you to other resources.

Resource	Description
Vapoursynth's Documentation	The official VapourSynth documentation. Covers basic usage and function reference.
Arch1t3cht's Encoding Resources	List of encoding-related resources together with basic instructions. Actively maintained.
guide.encode.moe	Encoding guide. Still under construction but sparsely updated.
Silentaperture's Guide	Encoding guide. Sparsely updated.
Jaded Encoding Thaumaturgy	Actively maintained repository of Vapoursynth related packages.
fieldbased.media	An overview of different types of field-based video content.

All of these guides assume you already know Python.
