How can one handle codec parameters and specify the video codec type when converting images to MPEG format using ffmpeg in PHP?

When converting images to MPEG format using ffmpeg in PHP, one can handle codec parameters and specify the video codec type by using the "-c:v" flag followed by the desired codec type (e.g. "libx264"). This flag allows you to specify the video codec for the output file. Additionally, you can set codec parameters such as bitrate, quality, and other settings using various flags provided by ffmpeg. 

$ffmpegPath = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg';
$inputImage = 'input.jpg';
$outputVideo = 'output.mp4';

$cmd = "$ffmpegPath -i $inputImage -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium $outputVideo";
exec($cmd);
