 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.I mencoder
+.B mencoder
 MEncoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to
-encode MPlayer-playable movies (AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/NET) to other
-MPlayer-playable formats (see below). Currently it and encodes to divx4/xvid
-(using divx4linux/xvid core), libavcodec formats (including divx3 and mpeg4),
-raw uncompressed rgb (usable with virtualdub etc), PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio.
-Also has stream copying abilities. 
-You can use MPlayer's video filters, so scale, crop, expand, flip, etc.

-.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
-.TP
+encode MPlayer-playable movies (AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET)
+to other MPlayer-playable formats (see below).  It encodes to DivX4 
+(1, 2 or 3 passes), xvid, codecs of libavcodec, PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. 
+Also has stream copying abilities, a powerfull plugin system
+(crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, rgb/yuv conversion) and more.
