ffmpeg - mandatory filters to use

Question

I am compiling ffmpeg for android. Just wondering which filters are mandatory in the configuration. If anybody knows please suggest me.

Answer 1

From one of the stackoverflow questions the answer is extracted as below.

Filters are only significant if you plan on using them. Have a look at what the filters do and then decide for yourself.

If all you do is just watch videos with ffplay then it's likely you won't need them. If you use ffmpeg for things like analog to digital conversion, re-encoding of videos then it's likely you will need them.
