-vbsf is deprecated in modern FFmpeg.

[christian-haider]

During debugging the script I noticed that -vbsf is deprecated in ffmpeg.

-vbsf is Fully Removed

-vbsf was deprecated for over 10 years and was completely removed from FFmpeg on December 18, 2023, in commit 6325aede08. The removal patch notes explicitly state: "They were marked as deprecated over 10 years ago." If you use it with a modern FFmpeg build, you'll get Unrecognized option 'vbsf'.¹²³

The Replacement: -bsf:v

The direct, modern replacement is -bsf:v (bitstream filter for video stream). The syntax is:[^4]

ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:v copy -bsf:v filter1[=opt1=val1:opt2=val2][,filter2] OUTPUT
