.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
.TP
.I NOTE
Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -flag opposite is -noflag
.TP
.B \-vcd <track number>
Encode the specified VCD track.
.TP
.B \-dvd <title number>
Encode the specified DVD title.
.TP
.B \-chapter <chapter id>
Use with -dvd option (see above). Start encoding at the specified chapter.
.TP
.B \-dvdangle <angle id>
Use with -dvd option (see above), and if the DVD disc has multiple angles.
It will encode the angle specified here.
.TP
.B \-dvdkey <key>
Used to decrypt CSS-encrypted streams on hard disk (with given CSS decrypt
key).
.TP
.B \-nobps
Used only for AVIs. Do not use the bps value in the AVI header, instead
calculate it.
.TP
.B \-aid <audio stream id>
If source media contains multiple audio streams (for example DVDs), encode
the specified one.
.TP
.B \-vid <video stream id>
If source media contains multiple video streams, encode the specified one.
.TP
.B \-pp <value>
Apply a postprocess filter to enhance image quality. (values?)
.TP
.B \-vc <codec name>
Use specified codec (according to codecs.conf) for decoding input video
stream.
.TP
.B \-ac <codec name>
Use specified codec (according to codecs.conf) for decoding input audio
stream.
.TP
.B \-vfm <video codec family>
Force decoding by using a specific codec FAMILY, and FALLBACK to default
if failed.  For examples see MPlayer manpage.
.TP
.B \-afm <audio codec family>
Force decoding by using a specific codec FAMILY, and FALLBACK to default
if failed.  For examples see MPlayer manpage.
.TP
.B \-include
specify config file to be parsed after the default
.TP
.B \-mc\ seconds/5frame
maximum sync correction per 5 frames (in seconds).
Use -mc 0 to disable input A/V sync.
.TP
.B \-v
Increase verbosity.
.TP
.B \-ovc <codecname>
Encode with the given codec (codec names are from codecs.conf).
Examples:

  -ovc help      get help
  -ovc copy      no encoding, just streamcopy
  -ovc divx4     encode to DivX4
.TP
.B \-oac <codecname>
Encode with the given codec (codec names are from codecs.conf).
Examples:

  -oac help      get help
  -oac copy      no encoding, just streamcopy
  -oac pcm       encode to uncompressed PCM
  -oac mp3lame   encode to MP3 (using Lame)
.TP
.B \-divx4opts
If encoding to DivX4, you can specify its parameters here, like:

  -divx4opts br=1800:deinterlace:key=250

Available options:

  help           get help (TODO!)
  br=XXX         specify bitrate in
                 kbit <4-16000> or
                 bit  <16001-24000000>
  key=XXX        maximum keyframe interval
                 (in frames)
  deinterlace    enable deinterlacing
  q=XXXX         quality (1-fastest, 5-best)
  min_quant=XXX  minimum quantizer (0-32)
  max_quant=XXX  maximum quantizer (0-32)
  rc_period=XXX  rate control period
  rc_reaction_period=XXX rate control
                         reaction period
  rc_reaction_ratio=XXX  rate control
                         reaction ratio

.TP
.B \-lameopts
If encoding to MP3 with libmp3lame, you can specify its parameters here, like:

  -lameopts vbr=192

Available options:

    help         get help (TODO!)
    br=XXX       specify bitrate in
                 kbit <0-1024>
    q=XXX        Quality
                 (0-highest, 9-fastest)
    vbr=XXX      variable bitrate method
                   0=cbr
                   1=mt
                   2=rh(default)
                   3=abr
                   4=mtrh
    cbr          constant bitrate
    mode=XXX     0=stereo
                 1=joint-stereo
                 2=dualchannel
                 3=mono
                 (default: auto)
    padding=XXX  0=no
                 1=all
                 2=adjust
    ratio=XXX    compression ratio <1-100>

.TP
.B \-pass <1/2>
With this you can encode 2pass DivX4 files. First encode with -pass 1, then
with the same parameters, encode with -pass 2.

.B \-ofps <fps>
The output file will have different frame/sec than the source.
.TP
.B \-o <filename>
Outputs to the given filename, instead of the default 'test.avi' .
.TP
.B \-frames <number>
Encode only given number of frames.
