.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
.I NOTE:
The suboption parser (used for example for -ao pcm suboptions) supports
a special kind of string-escaping intended for use with external GUIs.
.br
It has the following format:
.br
%n%string_of_length_n
.br
.I EXAMPLES:
.br
mplayer -ao pcm:file=%10%C:test.wav test.avi
.br
Or in a script:
.br
mplayer -ao pcm:file=%`expr length "$NAME"`%"$NAME" test.avi

.B \-msgcharset <charset>
Convert console messages to the specified character set (default: autodetect).
Text will be in the encoding specified with the --charset configure option.
Set this to "noconv" to disable conversion (for e.g.\& iconv problems).
.br
.I NOTE:
The option takes effect after command line parsing has finished.
The MPLAYER_CHARSET environment variable can help you get rid of

drivers.
.
.TP
.B \-crash-debug (DEBUG CODE)
Automatically attaches gdb upon crash or SIGTRAP.
Support must be compiled in by configuring with --enable-crash-debug.
.
.TP
.B \-edlout <filename>
Creates a new file and writes edit decision list (EDL) records to it.
During playback, the user hits 'i' to mark the start or end of a skip block.

Encode the fields of interlaced video material.
Turn this option on for interlaced content.
.br
.I NOTE:
Should you rescale the video, you would need an interlace-aware resizer,
which you can activate with -vf scale=<width>:<height>:1.
.
.TP
.B "4mv\ \ \ \ "
Use 4 motion vectors per macroblock.
This might give better compression, but slows down encoding.
