 @section libx264
 
-H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 format supported through
+x264 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder wrapper
-libx264.
 
 Requires the presence of the libx264 headers and library during
 configuration. You need to explicitly configure the build with
 @code{--enable-libx264}.
 
-@subsection Options
+x264 supports an impressive number of features, including 8x8 and 4x4 adaptive
+spatial transform, adaptive B-frame placement, CAVLC/CABAC entropy coding,
+interlacing (MBAFF), lossless mode, psy optimizations for detail retention
+(adaptive quantization, psy-RD, psy-trellis).
 
+The FFmpeg wrapper provides a mapping for most of them using global options
+that match those of the encoders and provides private options for the unique
+encoder options. Additionally an expert override is provided to directly pass
+a list of key=value tuples as accepted by x264_param_parse.
+
+@subsection Option Mapping
+
+The following options are supported by the x264 wrapper, the x264-equivalent
+options follow the FFmpeg ones.
