+.B \-aviaspect <w:h>
+Encode an additional AVI header with aspect ratio. This is a different
+method than the "aspect=..." option of libavcodec or xvid, and is
+prioritized over it during playback, because this header is processed
+first.
+
+This option is included for completeness. Some players can understand
+it, while they do not understand the aspect headers produced by the
+codec. If you wish to target such a player, use this
+option. Generally, encoding AVIs with square pixels is still the best
+choice, so aspect headers should be avoided. Use this option only if
+you know what you are doing. Avoid using it together with
+the aspect option of the codec, as it could bring unpredictable
+results.
