# FFmpeg Encoder Availability Check
## Purpose
Before writing video encoding scripts, always verify which H.264 encoders are available in your FFmpeg installation. This prevents failures from library version mismatches, particularly with libopenh264.
## Instructions
### Step 1: Probe Available Encoders
Run the following command to check available H.264 encoders:
```bash
ffmpeg -encoders 2>/dev/null | grep h264
