-Switches mplayer to an experimental mode where the video filters decide
-the presentation timestamp of video frames instead of the video source.
-Not supported by most filters.
+Switches mplayer to an experimental mode where timestamps for video frames
+are calculated differently and video filters which add new frames or
+modify timestamps of existing ones are supported.
+The more accurate timestamps can be visible for example when playing
+subtitles timed to scene changes with the -ass aption.
+Without -correct-pts the subtitle timing will typically be off by some frames.
+This option does not work correctly with some demuxers and codecs.
