As you may have noticed, running the command

vlc --help

on some command prompts is not very useful due to to the non-scrollable pop-up window that opened.

If you look for help, on a particular module, use

vlc -p module --advanced

Undocumented option:

 -vvv     "Verbose verbose verbose". Verbose output

Here's the output of vlc --longhelp --advanced --help-verbose of the version 0.8.6e in Windows. Part 1/2

Usage: vlc [options] [stream] ...
You can specify multiple streams on the commandline. They will be enqueued in the playlist.
The first item specified will be played first.

Options-styles:
  --option  A global option that is set for the duration of the program.
   -option  A single letter version of a global --option.
   :option  An option that only applies to the stream directly before it
            and that overrides previous settings.

Stream MRL syntax:
  [[access][/demux]://]URL[@[title][:chapter][-[title][:chapter]]] [:option=value ...]

  Many of the global --options can also be used as MRL specific :options.
  Multiple :option=value pairs can be specified.

URL syntax:
  [file://]filename              Plain media file
  http://ip:port/file            HTTP URL
  ftp://ip:port/file             FTP URL
  mms://ip:port/file             MMS URL
  screen://                      Screen capture
  [dvd://][device][@raw_device]  DVD device
  [vcd://][device]               VCD device
  [cdda://][device]              Audio CD device
  udp:[[<source address>]@[<bind address>][:<bind port>]]
                                 UDP stream sent by a streaming server
  vlc:pause:<seconds>            Special item to pause the playlist for a certain time
  vlc:quit                       Special item to quit VLC

 Audio
      --audio, --no-audio        Enable audio (default enabled)
          You can completely disable the audio output.
          The audio decoding stage will not take place,
          thus saving some processing power. (default
          enabled)
      --volume <integer>         Default audio volume
          You can set the default audio output volume
          here, in a range from 0 to 1024.
      --volume-step <integer>    Audio output volume step
          The step size of the volume is adjustable
          using this option, in a range from 0 to 1024.
      --aout-rate <integer>      Audio output frequency (Hz)
          You can force the audio output frequency
          here. Common values are -1 (default), 48000,
          44100, 32000, 22050, 16000, 11025, 8000.
      --hq-resampling, --no-hq-resampling
                                 High quality audio resampling (default
                                 enabled)
          This uses a high quality audio resampling
          algorithm. High quality audio resampling can
          be processor intensive so you can disable it
          and a cheaper resampling algorithm will be
          used instead. (default enabled)
      --spdif, --no-spdif        Use S/PDIF when available (default disabled)
          S/PDIF can be used by default when your
          hardware supports it as well as the audio
          stream being played. (default disabled)
      --force-dolby-surround {0 (Auto), 1 (On), 2 (Off)}
                                 Force detection of Dolby Surround
          Use this when you know your stream is (or is
          not) encoded with Dolby Surround but fails to
          be detected as such. Even if the stream is
          not actually encoded with Dolby Surround,
          turning on this option might enhance your
          experience, especially when combined with the
          Headphone Channel Mixer.
      --audio-desync <integer>   Audio desynchronization compensation
          This delays the audio output. The delay must
          be given in milliseconds.This can be handy if
          you notice a lag between the video and the
          audio.
      --aout <string>            Audio output module
          This is the audio output method used by VLC.
          The default behavior is to automatically
          select the best method available.
      --audio-filter <string>    Audio filters
          This adds audio post processing filters, to
          modify the sound rendering.
      --audio-visual <string>    Audio visualizations 
          This adds visualization modules (spectrum
          analyzer, etc.).

 Video
      --video, --no-video        Enable video (default enabled)
          You can completely disable the video output.
          The video decoding stage will not take place,
          thus saving some processing power. (default
          enabled)
      --grayscale, --no-grayscale
                                 Grayscale video output (default disabled)
          Output video in grayscale. As the color
          information aren't decoded, this can save
          some processing power. (default disabled)
  -f, --fullscreen, --no-fullscreen
                                 Fullscreen video output (default disabled)
          Start video in fullscreen mode (default
          disabled)
      --drop-late-frames, --no-drop-late-frames
                                 Drop late frames (default enabled)
          This drops frames that are late (arrive to
          the video output after their intended display
          date). (default enabled)
      --skip-frames, --no-skip-frames
                                 Skip frames (default enabled)
          This option enables framedropping on MPEG2
          stream. Framedropping occurs when your
          computer is not powerful enough (default
          enabled)
      --quiet-synchro, --no-quiet-synchro
                                 Quiet synchro (default disabled)
          This avoids flooding the message log with
          debug output from the video output
          synchronization mechanism. (default disabled)
      --overlay, --no-overlay    Overlay video output (default enabled)
          Overlay is the hardware acceleration
          capability of your video card (ability to
          render video directly). VLC will try to use
          it by default. (default enabled)
      --video-on-top, --no-video-on-top
                                 Always on top (default disabled)
          Always place the video window on top of other
          windows. (default disabled)
      --disable-screensaver, --no-disable-screensaver
                                 Disable screensaver (default enabled)
          Disable the screensaver during video
          playback. (default enabled)
      --snapshot-path <string>   Video snapshot directory (or filename)
          Directory where the video snapshots will be
          stored.
      --snapshot-prefix <string> Video snapshot file prefix
          Video snapshot file prefix
      --snapshot-format {png,jpg}
                                 Video snapshot format
          Image format which will be used to store the
          video snapshots
      --snapshot-preview, --no-snapshot-preview
                                 Display video snapshot preview (default
                                 enabled)
          Display the snapshot preview in the screen's
          top-left corner. (default enabled)
      --snapshot-sequential, --no-snapshot-sequential
                                 Use sequential numbers instead of timestamps
                                 (default disabled)
          Use sequential numbers instead of timestamps
          for snapshot numbering (default disabled)
      --width <integer>          Video width
          You can enforce the video width. By default
          (-1) VLC will adapt to the video
          characteristics.
      --height <integer>         Video height
          You can enforce the video height. By default
          (-1) VLC will adapt to the video
          characteristics.
      --video-x <integer>        Video X coordinate
          You can enforce the position of the top left
          corner of the video window (X coordinate).
      --video-y <integer>        Video Y coordinate
          You can enforce the position of the top left
          corner of the video window (Y coordinate).
      --crop <string>            Video cropping
          This forces the cropping of the source video.
          Accepted formats are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.)
          expressing the global image aspect.
      --custom-crop-ratios <string>
                                 Custom crop ratios list
          Comma seperated list of crop ratios which
          will be added in the interface's crop ratios
          list.
      --aspect-ratio <string>    Source aspect ratio
          This forces the source aspect ratio. For
          instance, some DVDs claim to be 16:9 while
          they are actually 4:3. This can also be used
          as a hint for VLC when a movie does not have
          aspect ratio information. Accepted formats
          are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.) expressing the
          global image aspect, or a float value (1.25,
          1.3333, etc.) expressing pixel squareness.
      --monitor-par <string>     Monitor pixel aspect ratio
          This forces the monitor aspect ratio. Most
          monitors have square pixels (1:1). If you
          have a 16:9 screen, you might need to change
          this to 4:3 in order to keep proportions.
      --custom-aspect-ratios <string>
                                 Custom aspect ratios list
          Comma seperated list of aspect ratios which
          will be added in the interface's aspect ratio
          list.
      --hdtv-fix, --no-hdtv-fix  Fix HDTV height (default enabled)
          This allows proper handling of HDTV-1080
          video format even if broken encoder
          incorrectly sets height to 1088 lines. You
          should only disable this option if your video
          has a non-standard format requiring all 1088
          lines. (default enabled)
      --video-deco, --no-video-deco
                                 Window decorations (default enabled)
          VLC can avoid creating window caption,
          frames, etc... around the video, giving a
          "minimal" window. (default enabled)
      --video-title <string>     Video title
          Custom title for the video window (in case
          the video is not embedded in the interface).
      --align {0 (Center), 1 (Left), 2 (Right), 4 (Top), 8 (Bottom), 5 (Top-Left), 6 (Top-Right), 9 (Bottom-Left), 10 (Bottom-Right)}
                                 Video alignment
          Enforce the alignment of the video in its
          window. By default (0) it will be centered
          (0=center, 1=left, 2=right, 4=top, 8=bottom,
          you can also use combinations of these
          values, like 6=4+2 meaning top-right).
      --zoom <float>             Zoom video
          You can zoom the video by the specified
          factor.
  -V, --vout <string>            Video output module
          This is the the video output method used by
          VLC. The default behavior is to automatically
          select the best method available.
      --vout-filter <string>     Video filter module
          This adds post-processing filters to enhance
          the picture quality, for instance
          deinterlacing, or to clone or distort the
          video window.

 Subpictures
      --spu, --no-spu            Enable sub-pictures (default enabled)
          You can completely disable the sub-picture
          processing. (default enabled)
      --osd, --no-osd            On Screen Display (default enabled)
          VLC can display messages on the video. This
          is called OSD (On Screen Display). (default
          enabled)
      --text-renderer <string>   Text rendering module
          VLC normally uses Freetype for rendering, but
          this allows you to use svg for instance.
      --sub-file <string>        Use subtitle file
          Load this subtitle file. To be used when
          autodetect cannot detect your subtitle file.

                                 Autodetect subtitle files (default enabled)
          Automatically detect a subtitle file, if no
          subtitle filename is specified (based on the
          filename of the movie). (default enabled)
      --sub-autodetect-fuzzy <integer>
                                 Subtitle autodetection fuzziness
          This determines how fuzzy subtitle and movie
          filename matching will be. Options are:
0 =
          no subtitles autodetected
1 = any subtitle
          file
2 = any subtitle file containing the
          movie name
3 = subtitle file matching the
          movie name with additional chars
4 = subtitle
          file matching the movie name exactly
      --sub-autodetect-path <string>
                                 Subtitle autodetection paths
          Look for a subtitle file in those paths too,
          if your subtitle file was not found in the
          current directory.
      --sub-margin <integer>     Force subtitle position
          You can use this option to place the
          subtitles under the movie, instead of over
          the movie. Try several positions.
      --sub-filter <string>      Subpictures filter module
          This adds so-called "subpicture filters".
          These filters overlay some images or text
          over the video (like a logo, arbitraty
          text...).
      --program <integer>        Program
          Choose the program to select by giving its
          Service ID. Only use this option if you want
          to read a multi-program stream (like DVB
          streams for example).
      --programs <string>        Programs
          Choose the programs to select by giving a
          comma-separated list of Service IDs (SIDs).
          Only use this option if you want to read a
          multi-program stream (like DVB streams for
          example).

          Language of the subtitle track you want to
          use (comma separated, two or tree letter
          country code).
      --audio-track-id <integer> Audio track ID
          Stream ID of the audio track to use.

          at the same time. This feature is
          experimental, not all formats are supported.
          Use a '#' separated list of inputs.
      --bookmarks <string>       Bookmarks list for a stream
          You can manually give a list of bookmarks for
          a stream in the form "{name=bookmark-name,time
          =optional-time-offset,bytes=optional-byte-offs
          et},{...}"
      --dvd <string>             DVD device

                                 Clock synchronisation
          It is possible to disable the input clock
          synchronisation for real-time sources. Use
          this if you experience jerky playback of
          network streams.
      --network-synchronisation, --no-network-synchronisation
                                 Network synchronisation (default disabled)
          This allows you to remotely synchronise
          clocks for server and client. The detailed
          settings are available in Advanced / Network
          Sync. (default disabled)

          List of codecs that VLC will use in priority.
          For instance, 'dummy,a52' will try the dummy
          and a52 codecs before trying the other ones.
          Only advanced users should alter this option
          as it can break playback of all your streams.

          You can use it if the correct access is not
          automatically detected. You should not set
          this as a global option unless you really
          know what you are doing.
      --access-filter <string>   Access filter module
          Access filters are used to modify the stream
          that is being read. This is used for instance
          for timeshifting.
      --demux <string>           Demux module
          Demultiplexers are used to separate the
          "elementary" streams (like audio and video
          streams). You can use it if the correct
          demuxer is not automatically detected. You
          should not set this as a global option unless
          you really know what you are doing.

 Stream output
      --sout <string>            Default stream output chain
          You can enter here a default stream output

          This is the hop limit (also known as
          "Time-To-Live" or TTL) of the multicast
          packets sent by the stream output (0 = use
          operating system built-in default).
      --miface <string>          IPv6 multicast output interface
          Default IPv6 multicast interface. This
          overrides the routing table.
      --miface-addr <string>     IPv4 multicast output interface address
          IPv4 adress for the default multicast

          announcements on the MBone. (default disabled)
      --sap-interval <integer>   SAP announcement interval
          When the SAP flow control is disabled, this
          lets you set the fixed interval between SAP
          announcements.

 CPU
      --fpu, --no-fpu            Enable FPU support (default enabled)
          If your processor has a floating point
          calculation unit, VLC can take advantage of
          it. (default enabled)
      --mmx, --no-mmx            Enable CPU MMX support (default enabled)
          If your processor supports the MMX
          instructions set, VLC can take advantage of
          them. (default enabled)
      --3dn, --no-3dn            Enable CPU 3D Now! support (default enabled)

                                 Use a plugins cache (default enabled)
          Use a plugins cache which will greatly
          improve the startup time of VLC. (default
          enabled)
      --plugin-path <string>     Modules search path
          Additional path for VLC to look for its
          modules.
      --minimize-threads, --no-minimize-threads
                                 Minimize number of threads (default disabled)
          This option minimizes the number of threads
          needed to run VLC. (default disabled)
      --one-instance, --no-one-instance
                                 Allow only one running instance (default
                                 disabled)
          Allowing only one running instance of VLC can
          sometimes be useful, for example if you
          associated VLC with some media types and you
          don't want a new instance of VLC to be opened
          each time you double-click on a file in the
          explorer. This option will allow you to play
          the file with the already running instance or
          enqueue it. (default disabled)
      --started-from-file, --no-started-from-file
                                 VLC is started from file association (default
                                 disabled)
          Tell VLC that it is being launched due to a
          file association in the OS (default disabled)
      --one-instance-when-started-from-file, --no-one-instance-when-started-from-file
                                 One instance when started from file (default
                                 enabled)
          Allow only one running instance when started
          from file. (default enabled)
      --playlist-enqueue, --no-playlist-enqueue
                                 Enqueue items to playlist when in one
                                 instance mode (default disabled)
          When using the one instance only option,
          enqueue items to playlist and keep playing
          current item. (default disabled)
      --high-priority, --no-high-priority
                                 Increase the priority of the process (default
                                 disabled)
          Increasing the priority of the process will
          very likely improve your playing experience
          as it allows VLC not to be disturbed by other
          applications that could otherwise take too
          much processor time. However be advised that
          in certain circumstances (bugs) VLC could
          take all the processor time and render the
          whole system unresponsive which might require
          a reboot of your machine. (default disabled)
      --fast-mutex, --no-fast-mutex
                                 Fast mutex on NT/2K/XP (developers only)
                                 (default disabled)
          On Windows NT/2K/XP we use a slow mutex
          implementation but which allows us to
          correctly implement condition variables. You
          can also use the faster Win9x implementation
          but you might experience problems with it.
          (default disabled)
      --win9x-cv-method <integer>
                                 Condition variables implementation for Win9x
                                 (developers only)
          On Windows 9x/Me you can use a fast but
          incorrect condition variables implementation
          (more precisely there is a possibility for a
          race condition to happen). However it is
          possible to use slower alternatives which are
          more robust. Currently you can choose between
          implementation 0 (which is the fastest but
          slightly incorrect), 1 (default) and 2.

 Playlist
  -Z, --random, --no-random      Play files randomly forever (default disabled)

          This stream will always be opened at VLC
          startup.
      --auto-preparse, --no-auto-preparse
                                 Automatically preparse files (default enabled)

          Assign a fixed PID to the audio stream.
      --sout-ts-pid-spu <integer>
                                 SPU PID
          Assign a fixed PID to the SPU.
      --sout-ts-pid-pmt <integer>
                                 PMT PID
          Assign a fixed PID to the PMT
      --sout-ts-tsid <integer>   TS ID
          Assign a fixed Transport Stream ID.
      --sout-ts-netid <integer>  NET ID
          Assign a fixed Network ID (for SDT table)
      --sout-ts-program-pmt <string>
                                 PMT Program numbers
          Assign a program number to each PMT. This
          requires "Set PID to ID of ES" to be enabled.
      --sout-ts-es-id-pid, --no-sout-ts-es-id-pid
                                 Set PID to ID of ES (default disabled)
          Sets PID to the ID if the incoming ES. This
          is for use with --ts-es-id-pid, and allows to
          have the same PIDs in the input and output
          streams. (default disabled)
      --sout-ts-muxpmt <string>  Mux PMT (requires --sout-ts-es-id-pid)
          Define the pids to add to each pmt. This
          requires "Set PID to ID of ES" to be enabled.
      --sout-ts-sdtdesc <string> SDT Descriptors (requires --sout-ts-es-id-pid)
          Defines the descriptors of each SDT.
          Thisrequires "Set PID to ID of ES" to be
          enabled.
      --sout-ts-alignment, --no-sout-ts-alignment
                                 Data alignment (default enabled)
          Enforces alignment of all access units on PES
          boundaries. Disabling this might save some
          bandwidth but introduce incompatibilities.
          (default enabled)
      --sout-ts-shaping <integer>
                                 Shaping delay (ms)
          Cut the stream in slices of the given
          duration, and ensure a constant bitrate
          between the two boundaries. This avoids
          having huge bitrate peaks, especially for
          reference frames.
      --sout-ts-use-key-frames, --no-sout-ts-use-key-frames
                                 Use keyframes (default disabled)
          If enabled, and shaping is specified, the TS
          muxer will place the boundaries at the end of
          I pictures. In that case, the shaping
          duration given by the user is a worse case
          used when no reference frame is available.
          This enhances the efficiency of the shaping
          algorithm, since I frames are usually the
          biggest frames in the stream. (default
          disabled)
      --sout-ts-pcr <integer>    PCR delay (ms)
          Set at which interval PCRs (Program Clock
          Reference) will be sent (in milliseconds).
          This value should be below 100ms. (default is
          70ms).
      --sout-ts-bmin <integer>   Minimum B (deprecated)
          This setting is deprecated and not used
          anymore
      --sout-ts-bmax <integer>   Maximum B (deprecated)
          This setting is deprecated and not used
          anymore
      --sout-ts-dts-delay <integer>
                                 DTS delay (ms)
          Delay the DTS (decoding time stamps) and PTS
          (presentation timestamps) of the data in the
          stream, compared to the PCRs. This allows for
          some buffering inside the client decoder.
      --sout-ts-crypt-audio, --no-sout-ts-crypt-audio
                                 Crypt audio (default enabled)
          Crypt audio using CSA (default enabled)
      --sout-ts-crypt-video, --no-sout-ts-crypt-video
                                 Crypt video (default enabled)
          Crypt video using CSA (default enabled)
      --sout-ts-csa-ck <string>  CSA Key
          CSA encryption key. This must be a 16 char
          string (8 hexadecimal bytes).
      --sout-ts-csa-pkt <integer>
                                 Packet size in bytes to encrypt
          Size of the TS packet to encrypt. The
          encryption routines subtract the TS-header
          from the value before encrypting. 

 ATSC A/52 (AC-3) audio decoder
      --a52-dynrng, --no-a52-dynrng
                                 A/52 dynamic range compression (default
                                 enabled)
          Dynamic range compression makes the loud
          sounds softer, and the soft sounds louder, so
          you can more easily listen to the stream in a
          noisy environment without disturbing anyone.
          If you disable the dynamic range compression
          the playback will be more adapted to a movie
          theater or a listening room. (default enabled)
      --a52-upmix, --no-a52-upmix
                                 Enable internal upmixing (default disabled)
          Enable the internal upmixing algorithm (not
          recommended). (default disabled)

          in the playlist.
collapse: subdirectories
          appear but are expanded on first
          play.
expand: all subdirectories are
          expanded.

      --ignore-filetypes <string>
                                 Ignored extensions
          Files with these extensions will not be added
          to playlist when opening a directory.
This is
          useful if you add directories that contain
          playlist files for instance. Use a
          comma-separated list of extensions.

          Set the ID of the fake elementary stream for
          use in #duplicate{} constructs (default 0).
      --fake-duration <integer>  Duration in ms
          Duration of the fake streaming before faking
          an end-of-file (default is 0, meaning that
          the stream is unlimited).

 File input
      --file-caching <integer>   Caching value in ms
          Caching value for files. This value should be
          set in milliseconds.
      --file-cat <string>        Concatenate with additional files
          Play split files as if they were part of a
          unique file. You need to specify a
          comma-separated list of files.

          selected/forced the dummy decoder in the main
          options. (default disabled)
      --dummy-chroma <string>    Dummy image chroma format
          Force the dummy video output to create images
          using a specific chroma format instead of
          trying to improve performances by using the
          most efficient one.

 DVB subtitles decoder
      --dvbsub-position {0 (Center), 1 (Left), 2 (Right), 4 (Top), 8 (Bottom), 5 (Top-Left), 6 (Top-Right), 9 (Bottom-Left), 10 (Bottom-Right)}
                                 Subpicture position
          You can enforce the subpicture position on
          the video (0=center, 1=left, 2=right, 4=top,
          8=bottom, you can also use combinations of
          these values, e.g. 6=top-right).

 DVDnav Input
      --dvdnav-angle <integer>   DVD angle
          Default DVD angle.
      --dvdnav-caching <integer> Caching value in ms
          Caching value for DVDs. This value should be
          set in milliseconds.
      --dvdnav-menu, --no-dvdnav-menu
                                 Start directly in menu (default enabled)
          Start the DVD directly in the main menu. This
          will try to skip all the useless warning
          introductions. (default enabled)

 DVDRead Input (DVD without menu support)
      --dvdread-angle <integer>  DVD angle
          Default DVD angle.
      --dvdread-caching <integer>
                                 Caching value in ms
          Caching value for DVDs. This value should be
          set in milliseconds.
      --dvdread-css-method {title,disc,key}
                                 Method used by libdvdcss for decryption
          Set the method used by libdvdcss for key
          decryption.
title: decrypted title key is
          guessed from the encrypted sectors of the
          stream. Thus it should work with a file as
          well as the DVD device. But it sometimes
          takes much time to decrypt a title key and
          may even fail. With this method, the key is
          only checked at the beginning of each title,
          so it won't work if the key changes in the
          middle of a title.
disc: the disc key is
          first cracked, then all title keys can be
          decrypted instantly, which allows us to check
          them often.
key: the same as "disc" if you
          don't have a file with player keys at
          compilation time. If you do, the decryption
          of the disc key will be faster with this
          method. It is the one that was used by
          libcss.
The default method is: key.

 Equalizer with 10 bands
      --equalizer-preset {flat,classical,club,dance,fullbass,fullbasstreble,fulltreble,headphones,largehall,live,party,pop,reggae,rock,ska,soft,softrock,techno}
                                 Equalizer preset
          Preset to use for the equalizer.
      --equalizer-bands <string> Bands gain
          Don't use presets, but manually specified

      --ffmpeg-error-resilience <integer>
                                 Error resilience
          Ffmpeg can do error resilience.
However, with
          a buggy encoder (such as the ISO MPEG-4
          encoder from M$) this can produce a lot of
          errors.
Valid values range from 0 to 4 (0
          disables all errors resilience).
      --ffmpeg-workaround-bugs <integer>
                                 Workaround bugs
          Try to fix some bugs:
1  autodetect
2  old
          msmpeg4
4  xvid interlaced
8  ump4 
16 no
          padding
32 ac vlc
64 Qpel chroma.
This must
          be the sum of the values. For example, to fix
          "ac vlc" and "ump4", enter 40.
      --ffmpeg-hurry-up, --no-ffmpeg-hurry-up
                                 Hurry up (default disabled)
          The decoder can partially decode or skip
          frame(s) when there is not enough time. It's
          useful with low CPU power but it can produce
          distorted pictures. (default disabled)
      --ffmpeg-vismv <integer>   Visualize motion vectors
          You can overlay the motion vectors (arrows
          showing how the images move) on the image.
          This value is a mask, based on these
          values:
1 - visualize forward predicted MVs
          of P frames
2 - visualize forward predicted
          MVs of B frames
4 - visualize backward
          predicted MVs of B frames
To visualize all
          vectors, the value should be 7.
      --ffmpeg-lowres <integer>  Low resolution decoding
          Only decode a low resolution version of the
          video. This requires less processing power
      --ffmpeg-skiploopfilter {0 (None), 1 (Non-ref), 2 (Bidir), 3 (Non-key), 4 (All)}
                                 Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding
          Skipping the loop filter (aka deblocking)
          usually has a detrimental effect on quality.
          However it provides a big speedup for high
          definition streams.
      --ffmpeg-pp-q <integer>    Post processing quality
          Quality of post processing. Valid range is 0
          to 6
Higher levels require considerable more
          CPU power, but produce better looking
          pictures.
      --ffmpeg-pp-name <string>  FFmpeg post processing filter chains
          <filterName>[:<option>[:<option>...]][[,|/][-]

          The encoder can make on-the-fly quality
          tradeoffs if your CPU can't keep up with the
          encoding rate. It will disable trellis
          quantization, then the rate distortion of

          it less sensitive to short variations.
      --norm-max-level <float>   Max level
          If the average power over the last N buffers
          is higher than this value, the volume will be
          normalized. This value is a positive floating
          point number. A value between 0.5 and 10
          seems sensible.

          seconds added to their remaining time. This
          will ensure that they are at least the
          specified time visible.
      --osdmenu-update <integer> Menu update interval
          The default is to update the OSD menu picture
          every 200 ms. Shorten the update time for
          environments that experience transmissions
          errors. Be careful with this option as
          encoding OSD menu pictures is very computing
          intensive. The range is 0 - 1000 ms.

 H.264/MPEG4 AVC encoder (using x264 library)
      --sout-x264-keyint <integer>
                                 Maximum GOP size
          Sets maximum interval between
          IDR-frames.Larger values save bits, thus
          improving quality for a given bitrate at the
          cost of seeking precision.
      --sout-x264-min-keyint <integer>
                                 Minimum GOP size
          Sets minimum interval between IDR-frames. In
          H.264, I-frames do not necessarily bound a
          closed GOP because it is allowable for a
          P-frame to be predicted from more frames than
          just the one frame before it (also see
          reference frame option). Therefore, I-frames
          are not necessarily seekable. IDR-frames
          restrict subsequent P-frames from referring
          to any frame prior to the IDR-frame. 
If
          scenecuts appear within this interval, they
          are still encoded as I-frames, but do not
          start a new GOP.
      --sout-x264-scenecut <integer>
                                 Extra I-frames aggressivity
          Scene-cut detection. Controls how
          aggressively to insert extra I-frames. With
          small values of scenecut, the codec often has
          to force an I-frame when it would exceed
          keyint. Good values of scenecut may find a
          better location for the I-frame. Large values
          use more I-frames than necessary, thus
          wasting bits. -1 disables scene-cut
          detection, so I-frames are inserted only
          every other keyint frames, which probably
          leads to ugly encoding artifacts. Range 1 to
          100.
      --sout-x264-bframes <integer>
                                 B-frames between I and P
          Number of consecutive B-frames between I and
