.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B mplayer
is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non\-x86
CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV,
FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ files, supported by many native, XAnim, and
Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV
movies, too (without the avifile library).

Another great feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers.
It works with X11, XV, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use
GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even 
without X11!) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon), too!
.br
Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.
MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens
DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+!

MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big
antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls.
European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean
fonts are supported along with 10 subtitle formats (VobSub, MicroDVD, SubRip,
SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle and our own: MPsub).

.B mencoder
(MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to
encode MPlayer-playable movies (see above) to other MPlayer-playable formats
(see below). It encodes to DivX4 (1, 2 or 3 passes), XviD, codecs of libavcodec,
PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. It also has stream copying abilities, a powerful plugin system
(crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, rgb/yuv conversion) and more.

.B gmplayer
is MPlayer with a graphical user interface.
It has the same options as MPlayer.

.SH GENERAL NOTES
Every "flag" option has a "noflag" counterpart, e.g.  the opposite of the \-fs
option is \-nofs.
.br
.B Check the HTML documentation, too!

.SH "DEMUXER/STREAM OPTIONS"
.TP
.B \-aid <id> (also see \-alang option)

.TP
.B \-alang <two letter\ country\ code> (also see \-aid option)
Works only for DVD playback! Selects DVD audio language. It always tries
to play audio streams whose language matches the given code.

.I EXAMPLE:
    \-alang hu,en  Plays Hungarian and falls back to
                  English if Hungarian is not
                  available.
.TP
.B \-audio\-demuxer <number> (\-audiofile only)
Force audio demuxer type for \-audiofile.
Give the demuxer ID as defined in demuxers.h.

This option specifies how much memory (in kbytes) to use when precaching a file/URL.
Especially useful on slow media (default is \-nocache).
.TP
.B \-cdda <option1:option2>
This option can be used to tune the CD Audio reading feature of MPlayer.
Available options are:

    speed=<value>        set CD spin speed
    paranoia=<value>     set paranoia level (0-2)
                           0: disable checking
                           1: overlap checking only
                              (default)
                           2: full data correction
                              and verification

    toc-bias             Assume that the beginning
                         offset of track 1 as
                         reported in the TOC will be
                         addressed as LBA 0. Some
                         Toshiba drives need this
                         for getting track
                         boundaries correct.
    toc-offset=<value>   Add <value> sectors to the
                         values reported when
                         addressing tracks. May be
                         negative.

    \-lavdopts bug=1

Available options are:
  
    ver=<value>  error resilience:
                   -1  needed for some very broken
                       encoders
                    0  default
                    1  more aggressive error
                       detection
    bug=<value>  manual workaround encoder bugs:
                   0  default
                   1  workaround for some old lavc
                      generated msmpeg4v3 files
.TP
.B \-nosound
Do not play/encode sound.
.TP
.B \-npp <option1,option2,...>
This option allows giving more literate postprocessing options, 
and is another way of calling it (not with \-pp). See \-npp help
for a full list of available options. The keywords accept a '\-'
prefix to disable the option.
.br
A ':' followed by a letter may be appended to the option to indicate its 
scope:
    a  Automatically switches the filter off if the CPU is too slow.
    c  Do chrominance filtering, too.
    y  Do not do chrominance filtering (only luminance filtering).
.br
Each filter defaults to 'c' (chrominance).
.br
.I NOTE:
-npp only controls the external postprocess filter, and you HAVE TO
load it manually by -vop pp (Usage: -vop pp -npp <options>),
it is not auto-loaded!

.I EXAMPLE:
    \-npp hb,vb,dr,al,lb  same as \-pp 0x2007f
    \-npp hb,vb,dr,al     same as \-pp 0x7f
    \-npp de,\-al          default filters without
                         brightness/contrast
                         correction
    \-npp de,tn:1:2:3     Enable default filters
                         & temporal denoiser.
    \-npp hb:y,vb:a \-autoq 6
                         Deblock horizontal only
                         luminance and switch
                         vertical deblocking on or
                         off automatically
                         depending on available
                         CPU time.
.TP
.B \-pp <quality> (see \-npp option too!)
Apply postprocess filter on decoded image.

Value given by -pp is sent to the codec, if the codec has built-in postprocess
filter (newer win32 DShow DLLs, divx4linux) otherwise the external postprocess
filter plugin (-vop pp) is auto-loaded and used.
Note, that you can use the built-in and external pp at the
same time, use -pp to set internal pp, and -vop pp=value to set up the external!

The valid range of -pp value for built-in pp filters vary on codecs, mostly
0-6, where 0=disable 6=slowest/best.

For the external pp filter, this is the numerical mode to use postprocessing. The '\-npp' option described
above has the same effects but with letters. To have several filters at the
same time, simply add the hexadecimal values.

.I EXAMPLE:
The following values are known to give good results:
    \-pp 0x20000 (\-npp lb)        deinterlacing (for DVD/MPEG2 playback e.g.)
    \-pp 0x7f (\-npp hb,vb,dr,al)  deblocking filter (for DivX)
.TP
.B \-ssf <mode> (BETA CODE)
Specifies SwScaler parameters. Available options are:

    lgb=[0..100]  Gaussian blur filter (luma) 
    cgb=[0..100]  Gaussian blur filter (chroma)
    ls=[0..100]   sharpen filter (luma)
    cs=[0..100]   sharpen filter (chroma)
    cvs=x         chroma vertical shifting
    chs=x         chroma horizontal shifting

.I EXAMPLE
    \-vop scale -ssf lgb=3.0
.TP
.B \-stereo <mode>
Select type of MP2/MP3 stereo output.

    Stereo         0
    Left channel   1
    Right channel  2
.TP
.B \-sws <software\ scaler\ type>
This option sets the quality (and speed, respectively) of the software scaler,
with the \-zoom option. For example with x11 or other outputs which lack
hardware acceleration. Possible settings are:

    0  fast bilinear (default)
    1  bilinear
    2  bicubic (best quality)
    3  ?
    4  nearest neighbor (bad quality)
    5  area averaging scaling support
.TP
.B \-vc <codec name>
Force usage of a specific video codec, according to its name in codecs.conf,

.I EXAMPLE:
    \-vc divx      use VFW DivX codec
    \-vc divxds    use DirectShow DivX codec
    \-vc ffdivx    use libavcodec's DivX codec
    \-vc ffmpeg12  use libavcodec's MPEG1/2 codec
    \-vc divx4     use Project Mayo's DivX codec

See '\-vc help' for FULL list!
.TP
.B \-vfm <1\-12> (OBSOLETE)
Force usage of a specific codec FAMILY, and FALLBACK to default if failed.

.I EXAMPLE:
    \-vfm 2   use VFW (Win32) codecs
    \-vfm 3   use OpenDivX/DivX4 codec (YV12)
             (same as \-vc odivx but fallback)
    \-vfm 4   use DirectShow (Win32) codecs
    \-vfm 5   use libavcodec codecs
    \-vfm 7   use DivX4 codec (YUY2)
             (same as \-vc divx4 but fallback)
    \-vfm 10  use XAnim codecs
.br
.I NOTE:
If libdivxdecore support was compiled in, then type 3 and 7 now contains
just the same DivX4 codec, but different APIs to reach it. For difference
between them and when to use which, check the DivX4 section in the
documentation.
.TP

                    results, but you can try X1,
                    too. FULL is very slow and the
                    others are experimental.
                    default = EPZS

  vqcomp=<value>    If the value is set to 1.0, the
                    quantizer will stay nearly
                    constant (high motion scenes
                    will look bad). If it's 0.0,
                    the quantizer will be changed
                    to make all frames approxi-
                    mately equally sized (low
                    motion scenes will look bad).
                    default = 0.5

  vqblur=<0\-1>      blurs the quantizer graph over
                    time.
                       0.0  no blur
                       1.0  average all past
                            quantizers
                    default = 0.5

  vqscale=<2\-31>    gives each frame the same
                    quantizer (selects fixed
                    quantizer mode).
                    default = 0 (fixed quantizer
                    mode disabled)

  vrc_strategy=<0\-2>
                    different strategies to
                    decide which frames should get
                    which quantizer.
                    default = 2

  v4mv              4 motion vectors per macro-
                    block, may give you slightly
                    better quality, can only be
                    used in HQ mode and is buggy
                    with B frames currently.
                    default = disabled

  vpass=<1/2>       select internal first pass
                    or second pass of 2-pass mode.
                    default = 0 (1-pass mode)

The next 3 options apply only to I & P frames:

  vqmin=<1\-31>      minimum quantizer
                    default = 3

  vqmax=<1\-31>      maximum quantizer
                    default = 15

  vqdiff=<1\-31>     quantizer difference
                    Limits the maximum quantizer
                    difference between frames.
                    default = 3

The following options apply only to B frames:

  vmax_b_frames=<0\-4>
                    maximum number of frames
                    between each I/P frame.
                    default = 0 (B-frames
                    generation disabled)

  vb_strategy=<0/1>
                    strategy to choose between
                    I/P/B frames:
                      0 always use max B
                      1 avoid B frames in high
                        motion / scene change (can
                        lead to misprediction of
                        file size)
                    default = 0

  vb_qfactor=<value>
                    quantizer factor between B
                    and I/P frames (larger means
                    higher quantizer for B frames)
                    default = 2.0

  vb_qfactor=<value>
                    quantizer factor between b
                    and I/P frames (larger means
                    higher quantizer for B frames)
                    default = 2.0

In fixed quantizer mode you can use those options:
    vqscale, vmax_b_frames, vhq, vme, keyint

You can use the following options only in pass 1 of 2-pass mode or in 1-pass mode:
    vqblur, vqdiff

You can use the following options only in pass 2 of 2-pass mode:
    vrc_strategy, vb_strategy

All other options can be used in all modes.
.TP
.B \-noskip
Do not skip frames.
.TP
.B \-o <filename>
Outputs to the given filename, instead of the default 'test.avi'.
.TP
.B \-oac <codec name>
Encode with the given codec (codec names are from codecs.conf,
use -ovc help to get a list of available codecs).

.I EXAMPLE:
    -oac copy     no encoding, just streamcopy
    -oac pcm      encode to uncompressed PCM
    -oac mp3lame  encode to MP3 (using Lame)
.TP
.B \-ofps <fps>
The output file will have different frame/sec than the source.
You MUST set it for variable fps (asf, some mov) and progressive
(29.97fps telecined mpeg) files.
.TP
.B \-ovc <codec name>
Encode with the given codec (codec names are from codecs.conf, 
use -ovc help to get a list of available codecs).

.I EXAMPLE:
    -ovc copy    no encoding, just streamcopy
    -ovc divx4   encode to DivX4/DivX5 or XviD
    -ovc rawrgb  encode to uncompressed RGB24
    -ovc lavc    encode with a libavcodec codec
.TP
.B \-pass <1/2>
With this you can encode 2pass DivX4 files. First encode with -pass 1, then
with the same parameters, encode with -pass 2.
.br
.I NOTE:
Use -lavcopts vpass=1/2 for libavcodec 2-pass instead of -pass 1/2.
.TP
.B \-passlogfile <filename>
When encoding in 2pass mode, MEncoder dumps first pass' informations
to the given file instead of the default divx2pass.log.
.TP
.B \-skiplimit <value>
Maximal skipable frames after non-skipped one 
(-noskiplimit for unlimited number).
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-verbose
Enable verbose output (more \-v means more verbosity).
.TP
.B \-vobsubout <basename>
Specify the basename for the output .idx and .sub files.  This turns
off subtitle rendering in the encoded movie and diverts it to Vobsub
subtitle files.
.TP
.B \-vobsuboutindex <index>
Specify the index of the subtitles in the output files.  Defaults to 0.
.TP
.B \-vobsuboutid <langid>
Specify the language two letter code for the subtitles.  This
overrides what is read from the DVD or the .ifo file.
