any options.
.TP
.I NOTE
Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -fs opposite is -nofs
.TP
.B \-vo\ <driver>[:<device>]
select video output driver and optinaly device. "device" is valid with
SDL and GGI too, it means sub-driver then (for example: -vo sdl:aalib).

you can get the list of available drivers executing

.I mplayer -ao help

.TP
.B \-vcd\ track
play video cd track from device instead of plain file
.TP
.B \-dvdauth\ device
specify DVD-ROM drive to use for MPEG2 decoding.
(use *_only_* when playing from DVD!)
.TP
.B \-nosound
don't play sound
.TP
.B \-fs

.TP
.B \-autoq\ quality
dynamically changes the level of postprocess, depending on spare CPU
time available. Uses the same value ranges as -pp . The number you
specify will be the maximum level used. Usually you can use some big
number.
.TP
.B \-ffactor\ number
resample alphamap of the font. Can be:

        0    plain white fonts

used in combination with -nosound and -vo null for benchmarking.
.IP
.SH "ADVANCED OPTIONS"
.TP
.I NOTE
These options can help you solve your particular problem.. Also, see the DOCS!
.TP
.B \-vc <name>
force usage of a specific video codec, according to its name in codecs.conf,
for example :

    -vc divx       use VFW DivX codec
    -vc divxds     use DirectShow DivX codec
    -vc ffdivx     use libavcodec's DivX codec
    -vc divx4      use ProjectMayo's DivX codec
.TP
.B \-ac <name>
force usage of a specific audio codec, according to its name in codecs.conf,
for example :

    -ac mp3        use libmp3 MP3 codec
    -ac mp3acm     use l3codeca.acm MP3 codec
    -ac ac3        use AC3 codec
.TP
.B \-vfm <1-5>
force usage of a specific codec FAMILY, and FALLBACK to default if failed.
For example:

    -vfm 2         use VFW (Win32) codecs
    -vfm 3         use OpenDivX codec (YV12)
                   (same as -vc odivx but fallback)
    -vfm 4         use DirectShow (Win32) codecs
    -vfm 5         use libavcodec codecs
    -vfm 7         use DivX4Linux codec (YUY2)
                   (same as -vc divx4 but fallback)

NOTE : type 3 and 7 now contains just the one same codec, then OpenDivX 4.0
beta. For difference between them and when to use which, check the OpenDivX
section in the documentation.
.TP
.B \-afm <1-5>
force usage of a specific audio format. For example:

    -afm 1         use libmp3 (mp1/mp2/mp3)
    -afm 2         suppose raw PCM audio
    -afm 3         use libac3
    -afm 4         use a matching Win32 codec
    -afm 5         use aLaw/uLaw driver
.TP

.B \-double
enable doublebuffering. Currently this is only honoured by the DGA driver.
.TP
.B \-dvdkey key
key to decrypt stream encrypted with CSS. For example : -dvdkey F169072699
(this is NOT for DVD playing! For DVD use the -dvdauth option!)
.TP
.B \-stereo mode
select type of MPEG1 stereo output. Mode may be 0:stereo 1:left 2:right

        Stereo         0
        Left channel   1
        Right channel  2

.B \-fsmode\ mode
This option workarounds some problems when using specific windowmanagers and
fullscreen mode. If you experience fullscreen problems, try changing this
value between 0 and 7.

        -fsmode 0      new method (since 0.18pre3)
        -fsmode 1      ICCCWM patch (for KDE2/icewm)
        -fsmode 2      old method (0.17a)
	-fsmode 3      ICCCWM patch + Motif method
