.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, ASF/\:WMA/\:WMV, RM, QT/\:MOV/\:MP4, OGG/\:OGM,
|
|
VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM and 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 using the avifile library).
|
|
.PP
|
|
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 also use GGI, SDL (and this way 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.
|
|
.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 10 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip,
|
|
SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub 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 plugin 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 "GENERAL NOTES"
|
|
.B Also see the HTML documentation!
|
|
.PP
|
|
Every 'flag' option has a 'noflag' counterpart, e.g.\& the opposite of the
|
|
\-fs option is \-nofs.
|
|
.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' and disabled by setting them to 'no' or '0'.
|
|
Even suboptions can be specified in this way.
|
|
|
|
.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,
|
|
.br
|
|
# start with mf://filemask
|
|
.br
|
|
mf=type=png:fps=25
|
|
|
|
You can also write file-specific configuration files.
|
|
If you wish to have a config 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.

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

|
|
.B \-autoq <quality> (use with \-vf pp)
|
|
Dynamically changes the level of postprocessing depending on 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 pp without parameters in order to use this.
|
|
.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 used.
|
|
An uneven video frame rate 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.
|
|
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 \-edl <filename>
|
|
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/documentation.html#edl for details on how to use this.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-edlout <filename>
|
|
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/documentation.html#edl 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: x11, xv, xvidix, xmga,
|
|
gl2, and svga.
|
|
.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.

.B \-channels <number>
|
|
Change the number of playback channels, defaults to '2' if not specified.
|
|
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.

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.

|

When interlaced video is stored in YUV 4:2:0 formats, chroma

|
|
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.

.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

The goal of this filter is to add the ability to process interlaced images
|
|
pre-field without deinterlacing them.
|
|
You can filter your interlaced DVD and play it on a TV without breaking the
|
|
interlacing.
|
|
While deinterlacing (with the postprocessing filter) removes interlacing
|
|
permanently (by smoothing, averaging, etc) deinterleaving splits the frame into
|
|
2 fields (so called half pictures), so you can process (filter) them
|
|
independently and then re-interleave them.

This filter is still experimental but seems to be usable.

Please be aware that there is absolutely no use in this filter
|
|
unless you see interlacing when playing the movie!
|

The following arguments (see syntax above) may be used to control
|
|
its behavior:
|
|
.RSs
|
|
.IPs dr
|
|
Set the frame dropping mode.
|
|
0 (default) means don't drop frames to maintain fixed output framerate.
|
|
1 means always drop a frame when there have been no drops or telecine
|
|
merges in the past 5 frames.
|
|
2 means always maintain exact 5:4 input to output frame ratio.
|
|
(Note: use mode 1 with MEncoder!)
|
|
.IPs am
|
|
Analysis mode.
|
|
Available values are 0 (fixed pattern with initial frame number
|
|
specified by fr=#) and 1 (agressive search for telecine pattern).
|
|
Default is 1.
|
|
.IPs fr
|
|
Set initial frame number in sequence.
|
|
0-2 are the three clean progressive frames; 3 and 4 are the two
|
|
interlaced frames.
|
|
The default, -1, means "not in telecine sequence".
|
|
The number specified here is the type for the imaginary previous
|
|
frame before the movie starts.
|
|
.IPs tr0, tr1, tr2, tr3
|
|
Threshold values to be used in certain modes.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP
|
|
.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.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "telecine[=start]"
|
|
Apply 3:2 "telecine" process to increase framerate by 20%.
|
|
This most likely will not work correctly with mplayer, but it can
|
|
be used with 'mencoder -fps 29.97 -ofps 29.97 -vf telecine'.
|
|
Both fps options are essential!
|
|
(A/V sync will break if they are wrong.)
|
|
The optional start parameter tells the filter where in the telecine
|
|
pattern to start (0-3).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "tfields[=mode]"
|
|
Temporal field separation -- split fields into frames, doubling the
|
|
output framerate.
|
|
Like the telecine filter, "tfields" will only work properly with
|
|
MEncoder, and only if both -fps and -ofps are set to the
|
|
desired (double) framerate!

the AC and the 1. & 2. partition.

(MV&DC) are far smaller than the 3. partition (AC) meaning that errors

Trellis searched quantization is quite simple a optimal quantization in the PSNR

vs bitrate sense (assuming that there would be no rounding errors introduced
