.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B mplayer
|
|
is a movie player for Linux (runs on many other platforms and CPU
|
|
architectures, see the documentation).
|
|
It plays most MPEG/\:VOB, AVI, ASF/\:WMA/\:WMV, RM, QT/\:MOV/\:MP4, OGG/\:OGM,
|
|
MKV, VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM and RoQ files, supported by many
|
|
native and binary codecs.
|
|
You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX\ 3/\:4/\:5 and even WMV movies,
|
|
too.
|
|
.PP
|
|
MPlayer supports a wide range of video and audio output drivers.
|
|
It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, libcaca, DirectFB,
|
|
Quartz, but you can also use GGI, SDL (and all their drivers), VESA (on every
|
|
VESA-compatible card, even without X11), some low-level card-specific drivers
|
|
(for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI) and some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the
|
|
Siemens DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/\:Hollywood+.
|
|
Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in
|
|
fullscreen mode.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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 12 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip, OGM,
|
|
SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub, PJS and our own: MPsub) and
|
|
DVD subtitles (SPU streams, VOBsub and Closed Captions).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.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, XviD, one of the libavcodec codecs and PCM/\:MP3/\:VBRMP3
|
|
audio in 1, 2 or 3\ passes.
|
|
Furthermore it has stream copying abilities, a powerful filter system (crop,
|
|
expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, noise, rgb/\:yuv conversion) and
|
|
more.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B gmplayer
|
|
is MPlayer with a graphical user interface.
|
|
It has the same options as MPlayer.
|

.SH "KEYBOARD CONTROL"
|
|
MPlayer has a fully configurable, command-driven control layer
|
|
which allows you to control MPlayer using keyboard, mouse, joystick
|
|
or remote control (with LIRC).
|
|
.br
|
|
The default configuration file for the input system is
|
|
~/.mplayer/\:input.conf but it can be overriden
|
|
using the \-input option.

.SH "USAGE"
|
|
Every 'flag' option has a 'noflag' counterpart, e.g.\& the opposite of the
|
|
\-fs option is \-nofs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If an option is marked as (XXX only), it will only work in combination with
|
|
the XXX option or if XXX is compiled in.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can put all of the options in a configuration file which will be read
|
|
every time MPlayer is run.
|
|
The system-wide configuration file 'mplayer.conf' is in your configuration
|
|
directory (e.g.\& /etc/\:mplayer or /usr/\:local/\:etc/\:mplayer), the user
|
|
specific one is '~/\:.mplayer/\:config'.
|
|
User specific options override system-wide options and options given on the
|
|
command line override either.
|
|
The syntax of the configuration files is 'option=<value>', everything after
|
|
a '#' is considered a comment.
|
|
Options that work without values can be enabled by setting them to 'yes'
|
|
or '1' or 'true' and disabled by setting them to 'no' or '0' or 'false'.
|
|
Even suboptions can be specified in this way.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I EXAMPLE:
|
|
.br
|
|
# Use Matrox driver by default.
|
|
.br
|
|
vo=xmga
|
|
.br
|
|
# I love practicing handstands while watching videos.
|
|
.br
|
|
flip=yes
|
|
.br
|
|
# Decode/\:encode multiple files from png,

|
|
.PP
|
|
You can also write file-specific configuration files.
|
|
If you wish to have a configuration file for a file called 'movie.avi', create a file
|
|
named 'movie.avi.conf' with the file-specific options in it and put it in
|
|
~/.mplayer or in the same directory as the file.

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-include <configuration\ file>
|
|
Specify configuration file to be parsed after the default ones.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-quiet \ \
|
|
Make console output less verbose; in particular, prevents the status line
|
|
(i.e.\& A: 0.7 V: 0.6 A-V: 0.068 ...) from being displayed.
|
|
Particularly useful on slow terminals or broken ones which do not properly
|
|
handle carriage return (i.e.\& \\r).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v, \-verbose
|

.TP
|
|
.B \-autoq <quality> (use with \-vf [s]pp)
|
|
Dynamically changes the level of postprocessing depending on the available spare
|
|
CPU time.
|
|
The number you specify will be the maximum level used.
|
|
Usually you can use some big number.
|
|
You have to use \-vf [s]pp without parameters in order for this to work.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-autosync <factor>
|
|
Gradually adjusts the A/\:V sync based on audio delay measurements.
|
|
Specifying \-autosync\ 0, the default, will cause frame timing to be based
|
|
entirely on audio delay measurements.
|
|
Specifying \-autosync\ 1 will do the same, but will subtly change the A/\:V
|
|
correction algorithm.
|
|
An uneven video framerate in a movie which plays fine with \-nosound can
|
|
often be helped by setting this to an integer value greater than 1.
|
|
The higher the value, the closer the timing will be to \-nosound.
|
|
Try \-autosync\ 30 to smooth out problems with sound drivers which do
|
|
not implement a perfect audio delay measurement.
|
|
With this value, if large A/\:V sync offsets occur, they will only take about
|
|
1 or 2\ seconds to settle out.
|
|
This delay in reaction time to sudden A/\:V offsets should be the only
|
|
side-effect of turning this option on, for all sound drivers.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-benchmark
|
|
Prints some statistics on CPU usage and dropped frames at the end of playback.
|
|
Use in combination with \-nosound and \-vo null for benchmarking only the
|
|
video codec.
|
|
.br
|
|
.I NOTE:
|
|
With this option MPlayer will also ignore frame duration when playing
|
|
only video (you can think of that as infinite fps).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-colorkey <number>
|
|
Changes the colorkey to an RGB value of your choice.
|
|
0x000000 is black and 0xffffff is white.
|
|
Only supported by the cvidix, fbdev, svga, vesa, winvidix, xmga, xvidix and
|
|
xover video out drivers.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-nocolorkey
|
|
Disables colorkeying.
|
|
Only supported by the cvidix, fbdev, svga, vesa, winvidix, xmga, xvidix and
|
|
xover video out drivers.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-edl <filename> (EDL only)
|
|
Enables edit decision list (EDL) actions during playback.
|
|
Video will be skipped over and audio will be muted and unmuted according to
|
|
the entries in the given file.
|
|
See DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html for details on how to use this.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-edlout <filename> (EDL only)
|
|
Creates a new file and writes edit decision list (EDL) records to that file.
|
|
During playback, when the user hits 'i', an entry to skip over the last two
|
|
seconds of playback will be written to the file.
|
|
This provides a starting point from which the user can fine-tune EDL entries
|
|
later.
|
|
See DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html for details.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-enqueue (GUI only)
|
|
Enqueue files given on the command line in the playlist instead of playing them
|
|
immediately.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fixed-vo (BETA CODE!)
|
|
Enforces a fixed video system for multiple files (one (un)initialisation for
|
|
all files).
|
|
Therefore only one window will be opened for all files.
|
|
Currently the following drivers are fixed-vo compliant: gl2, mga, svga, x11,
|
|
xmga, xv, xvidix and dfbmga.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-framedrop (also see \-hardframedrop)
|
|
Skip displaying some frames to maintain A/\:V sync on slow systems.
|
|
Video filters are not applied to such frames.
|
|
For B frames even decoding is skipped completely.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h, \-help, \-\-help
|
|
Show short summary of options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-hardframedrop
|
|
More intense frame dropping (breaks decoding).
|
|
Leads to image distortion!
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-identify
|
|
Show file parameters in an easily parseable format.
|
|
The wrapper script TOOLS/midentify suppresses the other MPlayer output and
|
|
(hopefully) shellescapes the filenames.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-input <commands>
|
|
This option can be used to configure certain parts of the input system.
|

.B \-channels <number>
|
|
Change the number of playback channels (default: 2).
|
|
If the number of output channels is bigger than the number of input channels
|
|
empty channels are inserted (unless mixing from mono to stereo, then the mono
|
|
channel is repeated in both output channels).
|
|
If the number of output channels is smaller than the number of input channels,
|
|
results depend on the audio decoder (\-afm).
|
|
MPlayer asks the decoder to decode the audio into as many channels as
|
|
specified.
|
|
Now it's up to the decoder to fulfill the requirement.
|
|
If the decoder outputs more channels than requested, the exceeding channels
|
|
are truncated.
|
|
This is usually only important when playing videos with AC3 audio (like DVDs).
|
|
In that case liba52 does the decoding by default and correctly downmixes the
|
|
audio into the requested number of channels.

Alternative software equalizer that uses lookup tables (very slow),

and contrast adjustment.
|
|
Note that it uses the same MMX optimized code as \-vf eq if all

gamma values are 1.0.
|
|
The parameters are given as floating point values.
|
|
Parameters rg, gg, bg are the independent gamma values for the Red, Green
|
|
and Blue components.
|
|
The weight parameter can be used to reduce the effect of a high gamma value on
|
|
bright image areas, e.g.\& keep them from getting overamplified and just plain
|
|
white.
|
|
A value of 0.0 turns the gamma correction all the way down while 1.0 leaves it
|
|
at its full strength.
|
|
Defaults are gamma=1.0, contrast=1.0, brightness=0.0, saturation=1.0,
|
|
weight=1.0.
|
|
Value ranges are 0.1\-10 for gamma, -2\-2 for contrast (negative values result

weight.

.B halfpack[=f]
|
|
Convert planar YUV 4:2:0 to half-height packed 4:2:2, downsampling luma but

|
|
Useful for output to low-resolution display devices when hardware downscaling
|
|
is poor quality or is not available.
|
|
Can also be used as a primitive luma-only deinterlacer with very low cpu
|
|
usage.
|
|
By default, halfpack averages pairs of lines when downsampling.
|
|
The optional parameter f can be 0 to only use even lines, or 1 to only use
|
|
odd lines.
|
|
Any other value for f gives the default (averaging) behavior.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ilpack[=mode]
|
|
When interlaced video is stored in YUV 4:2:0 formats, chroma
|
|
interlacing does not line up properly due to vertical downsampling of
|
|
the chroma channels.
|
|
This filter packs the planar 4:2:0 data into YUY2 (4:2:2) format with
|
|
the chroma lines in their proper locations, so that in any given
|
|
scanline, the luma and chroma data both come from the same field.
|
|
The optional argument selects the sampling mode.
|
|
By default, linear interpolation (mode 1) is used.
|
|
Mode 0 uses nearest-neighbor sampling, which is fast but incorrect.

.B harddup
|
|
Only useful with MEncoder.
|
|
If harddup is used when encoding, it will force duplicate frames to be

encoded in the output.
|
|
This uses slightly more space, but is necessary for output to MPEG
|
|
files or if you plan to demux and remux the video stream after
|
|
encoding.

Should be placed at or near the end of the filter chain unless you

.B softskip
|
|
Only useful with MEncoder.
|
|
Softskip moves the frame skipping (dropping) step of encoding from

|
before the filter chain to some point during the filter chain.
|
|
This allows filters which need to see all frames (inverse telecine,
|
|
temporal denoising, etc.) to function properly.
|
|
Should be placed after the filters which need to see all frames and
|
|
before any subsequent filters that are CPU-intensive.

|
.TP
|
|
.B decimate[=max:hi:lo:frac]
|
|
Drops frames that don't differ greatly from the previous frame in
|
|
order to reduce framerate.
|
|
The argument max (if positive) sets the maximum number of consecutive
|
|
frames which can be dropped, or (if negative) the minimum interval
|
|
between dropped frames.
|
|
A frame is a candidate for dropping if no 8x8 region differs by more
|
|
than a threshold of hi, and if not more than frac portion (1 meaning
|
|
the whole image) differs by more than a threshold of lo.
|
|
Values of hi and lo are for 8x8 pixel blocks and represent actual
|
|
pixel value differences, so a threshold of 64 corresponds to 1 unit of
|
|
difference for each pixel, or the same spread out differently over the
|
|
block.
|
|
The main use of this filter is for very-low-bitrate encoding (e.g.\&

streaming over dialup modem), but it could in theory be used for

|
fixing movies that were inverse-telecined incorrectly.

Attempts to reverse the 'telecine' process to recover a clean,

|
|
This was the first and most primitive inverse telecine filter to be
|
|
added to MPlayer/MEncoder.
|
|
It works by latching onto the telecine 3:2 pattern and following it as
|
|
long as possible.
|
|
This makes it suitable for perfectly-telecined material, even in the
|
|
presence of a fair degree of noise, but it will fail in the presence
|
|
of complex post-telecine edits.

Development on this filter is no longer taking place, as ivtc, pullup,

.B ivtc[=1]
|
|
Experimental 'stateless' inverse telecine filter.
|
|
Rather than trying to lock on to a pattern like the detc filter does,
|
|
ivtc makes its decisions independently for each frame.
|
|
This will give much better results for material that has undergone
|
|
heavy editing after telecine was applied, but as a result it is not as
|
|
forgiving of noisy input, for example TV capture.
|
|
The optional parameter (ivtc=1) corresponds to the dr=1 option for the
|
|
detc filter, and should be used with MEncoder but not with MPlayer.
|
|
As with detc, you must specify the correct output framerate (\-ofps
|
|
23.976) when using MEncoder.
|
|
Further development on ivtc has stopped, as the pullup and filmdint
|
|
filters appear to be much more accurate.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B pullup[=jl:jr:jt:jb:sb]\
|
|
Third-generation pulldown reversal (inverse telecine) filter,
|
|
capable of handling mixed hard-telecine, 24 fps progressive, and 30
|
|
fps progressive content.
|
|
The pullup filter is designed to be much more robust than detc or
|
|
ivtc, by taking advantage of future context in making its decisions.
|
|
Like ivtc, pullup is stateless in the sense that it does not lock onto
|
|
a pattern to follow, but it instead looks forward to the following
|
|
fields in order to identify matches and rebuild progressive frames.
|
|
It is still under development, but believed to be quite accurate.
|
|
The jl, jr, jt, and jb options set the amount of "junk" to ignore at
|
|
the left, right, top, and bottom of the image, respectively.
|
|
Left/right are in units of 8 pixels, while top/bottom are in units of
|
|
2 lines.
|
|
The default is 8 pixels on each side.
|
|
Setting the sb (strict breaks) option to 1 will reduce the chances of
|
|
pullup generating an occasional mismatched frame, but it may also
|
|
cause an excessive number of frames to be dropped during high motion
|
|
sequences.
|
|
.br
|
|
.I NOTE:
|
|
Always follow pullup with the softskip filter when encoding to ensure
|
|
that pullup is able to see each frame.
|
|
Failure to do so will lead to incorrect output and will usually crash,
|
|
due to design limitations in the codec/filter layer.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B filmdint[=options]
|
|
Inverse telecine filter, similar to the pullup filter above.
|
|
It is designed to handle any pulldown pattern, including mixed soft and
|
|
hard telecine and limited support for movies that are slowed down or sped
|
|
up from their original framerate for TV.
|
|
Only the luma plane is used to find the frame breaks.
|
|
If a field has no match, it is deinterlaced with simple linear
|
|
approximation.
|
|
If the source is MPEG-2, this must be the first filter to allow
|
|
access to the field-flags set by the MPEG-2 decoder.
|
|
Depending on the source MPEG, you may be fine ignoring this advice, as
|
|
long as you do not see lots of "Bottom-first field" warnings.
|
|
With no options it does normal inverse telecine, and should be used
|
|
together with mencoder \-fps 29.97 \-ofps 23.976.
|
|
When this filter is used with mplayer, it will result in an uneven
|
|
framerate during playback, but it is still generally better than using
|
|
pp=lb or no deinterlacing at all.
|
|
Multiple options can be specified separated by /.
|
|
.RSs
|
|
.IPs crop=w:h:x:y
|
|
Just like the crop filter, but faster, and works on mixed hard and soft
|
|
telecined content as well as when y is not a multiple of 4.
|
|
If x or y would require cropping fractional pixels from the chroma
|
|
planes, the crop area is extended.
|
|
This usually means that x and y must be even.
|
|
.IPs io=ifps:ofps
|
|
For each ifps input frames the filter will output ofps frames.
|
|
The ratio of ifps/ofps should match the \-fps/\-ofps ratio.
|
|
This could be used to filter movies that are broadcast on TV at a frame
|
|
rate different from their original framerate.
|
|
.IPs luma_only=n
|
|
If n is nonzero, the chroma plane is copied unchanged.
|
|
This is useful for YV12 sampled TV, which discards one of the chroma
|
|
fields.
|
|
.IPs mmx2=n
|
|
On x86, if n=1, use MMX2 optimized functions, if n=2, use 3DNow!
|
|
optimized functions, othewise, use plain C.
|
|
If this option is not specified, MMX2 and 3DNow! are auto-detected, use
|
|
this option to override auto-detection.
|
|
.IPs fast=n
|
|
The larger n will speed up the filter at the expense of accuracy.
|
|
The default value is n=3.
|
|
If n is odd, a frame immediately following a frame marked with the
|
|
REPEAT_FIRST_FIELD MPEG flag is assumed to be progressive, thus filter
|
|
will not spend any time on soft-telecined MPEG-2 content.
|
|
This is the only effect of this flag if MMX2 or 3DNow! is available.
|
|
Without MMX2 and 3DNow, if n=0 or 1, the same calculations will be used
|
|
as with n=2 or 3.
|
|
If n=2 or 3, the number of luma levels used to find the frame breaks is
|
|
reduced from 256 to 128, which results in a faster filter without losing
|
|
much accuracy.
|
|
If n=4 or 5, a faster, but much less accurate metric will be used to
|
|
find the frame breaks, which is more likely to misdetect high vertical
|
|
detail as interlaced content.
|
|
.IPs verbose=n
|
|
If n is nonzero, print the detailed metrics for each frame.
|
|
Useful for debugging.
|
|
.IPs dint_thres=n
|
|
Deinterlace threshold.
|
|
Used during de-interlacing of unmatched frames.
|
|
Larger value means less deinterlacing, use n=256 to completely turn off
|
|
deinterlacing.
|
|
Default is n=8.
|
|
.IPs comb_thres=n
|
|
Threshold for comparing a top and bottom fields.
|

Defaults to 128.

.B softpulldown
|
|
This filter works only correct with MEncoder and acts on the MPEG2 flags
|
|
used for soft 3:2 pulldown (soft telecine).
|
|
If you want to use the ivtc or detc filter on movies that are partly soft
|
|
telecined, inserting this filter before them should make them more reliable.
|
|
.TP
|

.B divtc[=options]
|
|
Inverse telecine for deinterlaced video.
|
|
If 3:2-pulldown telecined video has lost one of the fields or is deinterlaced
|
|
using a method that keeps one field and interpolates the other, the result is
|
|
a juddering video that has every fourth frame duplicated.
|
|
This filter is intended to find and drop those duplicates and restore the
|
|
original film framerate.
|
|
When using this filter, you must specify \-ofps that is 4/5 of the fps of the
|
|
input file (23.976 if the input is 29.97fps).
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.RSs
|
|
.IPs pass=1|2
|
|
Use two-pass mode.
|
|
This produces best results.
|
|
Pass 1 analyzes the video and writes the results to a log file.
|
|
Pass 2 then reads this log file and uses the information to do the actual work.
|
|
Note that these passes do NOT correspond to pass 1 and 2 of the encoding
|
|
process.
|
|
In order to use divtc two-pass with two-pass video encoding, you must perform
|
|
three passes: first divtc pass 1 and encoder pass 1, then divtc pass 2 and
|
|
encoder pass 1, and finally divtc pass 2 and encoder pass 2.
|
|
.IPs file=filename
|
|
Set the 2-pass log file name (default: "framediff.log").
|
|
.IPs threshold=value
|
|
Set the minimum strength the telecine pattern must have for the filter to
|
|
believe in it (default: 0.5).
|
|
This is used to avoid recognizing false pattern from the parts of the video
|
|
that are very dark or very still.
|
|
.IPs window=numframes
|
|
Set the number of past frames to look at when searching for pattern
|
|
(default: 30).
|
|
Longer window improves the reliability of the pattern search, but shorter
|
|
window improves the reaction time to the changes in the telecine phase.
|
|
This only affects the one-pass mode.
|
|
The two-pass mode currently uses fixed window that extends to both future
|
|
and past.
|
|
.IPs phase=0|1|2|3|4
|
|
Sets the initial telecine phase for one-pass mode (default: 0).
|
|
The two-pass mode can see the future, so it is able to use the correct
|
|
phase from the beginning, but one-pass mode can only guess.
|
|
It catches the correct phase when it finds it, but this option can be used
|
|
to fix the possible juddering at the beginning.
|
|
The first pass of the two-pass mode also uses this, so if you save the output
|
|
from the first pass, you get constant phase result.
|
|
.IPs deghost=value
|
|
Set the deghosting threshold (0\-255 for one-pass mode, -255\-255 for two-pass
|
|
mode, default 0).
|
|
If nonzero, deghosting mode is used.
|
|
This is for video that has been deinterlaced by blending the fields
|
|
together instead of dropping one of the fields.
|
|
Deghosting amplifies any compression artifacts in the blended frames, so the
|
|
parameter value is used as a threshold to exclude those pixels from
|
|
deghosting that differ from the previous frame less than specified value.
|
|
If two-pass mode is used, then negative value can be used to make the
|
|
filter analyze the whole video in the beginning of pass-2 to determine
|
|
whether it needs deghosting or not and then select either zero or the
|
|
absolute value of the parameter.
|
|
Specify this option for pass-2, it makes no difference on pass-1.

These options set the maximum width and height the zr card

can handle (the MPlayer filter layer currently cannot query those).

.IPs {dc10+,dc10,buz,lml33}-{PAL|NTSC}

Use these options to set maxwidth and maxheight automatically to the

values known for card/mode combo.

|
For example, valid options are: dc10-PAL and buz-NTSC (default: dc10+PAL)

.IPs color|bw

Select color or black and white encoding.

Black and white encoding is faster.

Horizontal decimation 1, 2 or 4.

.IPs fd|nofd
|

By default, decimation is only performed if the Zoran hardware

can upscale the resulting MJPEG images to the original size.

The option fd instructs the filter to always perform the requested

decimation (ugly).

the AC and the 1. & 2. partition.

MPEG4 uses a half pixel precision for its motion search by default.

The standard proposes a mode where encoders are allowed to use quarter

pixel precision.

This option usually results in a sharper image.

Unfortunately it has a great impact on bitrate and sometimes the
|
|
higher bitrate use will prevent it from giving a better image

Trellis Quantization is a kind of adaptive quantization method that

Its impact on quality is good, and if VHQ uses too much CPU for you,

quality at fixed bitrate) at a lesser cost than with VHQ.

|
the frame is static and some small zones have high motion (in a static
|
|
scene with a man talking, his mouth will probably look bad if what is
|
|
surrounding the man and his mouth is completly static).
|
|
This setting allows you to favorize or not, the use of B frames.
|
|
The higher the value, the higher the probability of B frames being used.

.B hq_ac\ \
|
|
Activates High Quality AC coefficient prediction from neighbor blocks.

|
.TP
|
|
.B vhq=<0\-4>
|
|
The motion search algorithm is based on a search in the usual color domain
|
|
and tries to find a motion vector that minimizes the difference between the
|
|
reference frame and the encoded frame.
|
|
With this setting activated, XviD will also use the frequency domain (DCT)
|
|
to search for a motion vector that minimizes not only the spatial
|
|
difference but also the encoding length of the block.

.B aspect=<x/y | f (float value)>
|
|
Store movie aspect internally, just like MPEG files.
|
|
Much nicer solution than rescaling, because quality isn't decreased.
|
|
MPlayer and a few others players will play these files correctly, others
|
|
will display them with the wrong aspect.
|
|
The aspect parameter can be given as a ratio or a floating point number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B autoaspect
|
|
Same as the aspect option, but automatically computes aspect, taking
|
|
into account all the adjustments (crop/expand/scale/etc.) made in the
|
|
filter chain.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B psnr\ \ \
|
|
Print the psnr (peak signal to noise ratio) for the whole video after encoding
|
|
and store the per frame psnr in a file with a name like 'psnr_hhmmss.log' in
|
|
the current directory.
|
|
Returned values are in dB (decibel), the higher the better.
