See also Command line, Console interfaces

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 -H of the stable 1.0.0 in Windows. If you are looking for 0.8.6 help, go VLC-0-8-6_command-line_help. If you are looking for 0.9.x help, go VLC-0-9-x_command-line_help.


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

No matching module found. Use --list or--list-verbose to list available modules.

 YUV video output
      --yuv-file=<string>        device, fifo or filename
          device, fifo or filename to write yuv frames too.
      --yuv-chroma=<string>      Chroma used.
          Force use of a specific chroma for output. Default is I420.
      --yuv-yuv4mpeg2, --no-yuv-yuv4mpeg2
                                 YUV4MPEG2 header (default disabled) (default
                                 disabled)
          The YUV4MPEG2 header is compatible with mplayer yuv video ouput and
          requires YV12/I420 fourcc. By default vlc writes the fourcc of the
          picture frame into the output destination. (default disabled)

 H.264/MPEG4 AVC encoder (x264)
      --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 [-1 .. 100]>
                                 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 [0 .. 16]>
                                 B-frames between I and P
          Number of consecutive B-frames between I and P-frames. Range 1 to 16.
      --sout-x264-b-adapt=<integer [0 .. 2]>
                                 Adaptive B-frame decision
          Force the specified number of consecutive B-frames to be used, except
          possibly before an I-frame.Range 0 to 2.
      --sout-x264-b-bias=<integer [-100 .. 100]>
                                 Influence (bias) B-frames usage
          Bias the choice to use B-frames. Positive values cause more B-frames,
          negative values cause less B-frames.
      --sout-x264-bpyramid, --no-sout-x264-bpyramid
                                 Keep some B-frames as references (default
                                 disabled)
          Allows B-frames to be used as references for predicting other frames.
          Keeps the middle of 2+ consecutive B-frames as a reference, and
          reorders frame appropriately. (default disabled)
      --sout-x264-cabac, --no-sout-x264-cabac
                                 CABAC (default enabled)
          CABAC (Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding). Slightly slows
          down encoding and decoding, but should save 10 to 15% bitrate.
          (default enabled)
      --sout-x264-ref=<integer [1 .. 16]>
                                 Number of reference frames
          Number of previous frames used as predictors. This is effective in
          Anime, but seems to make little difference in live-action source
          material. Some decoders are unable to deal with large frameref
          values. Range 1 to 16.
      --sout-x264-nf, --no-sout-x264-nf
                                 Skip loop filter (default disabled)
          Deactivate the deblocking loop filter (decreases quality). (default
          disabled)
      --sout-x264-deblock=<string>
                                 Loop filter AlphaC0 and Beta parameters
                                 alpha:beta
          Loop filter AlphaC0 and Beta parameters. Range -6 to 6 for both alpha
          and beta parameters. -6 means light filter, 6 means strong.
      --sout-x264-level=<string> H.264 level
          Specify H.264 level (as defined by Annex A of the standard). Levels
          are not enforced; it's up to the user to select a level compatible
          with the rest of the encoding options. Range 1 to 5.1 (10 to 51 is
          also allowed).
      --sout-x264-interlaced, --no-sout-x264-interlaced
                                 Interlaced mode (default disabled)
          Pure-interlaced mode. (default disabled)
      --sout-x264-qp=<integer [0 .. 51]>
                                 Set QP
          This selects the quantizer to use. Lower values result in better
          fidelity, but higher bitrates. 26 is a good default value. Range 0
          (lossless) to 51.
      --sout-x264-crf=<integer [0 .. 51]>
                                 Quality-based VBR
          1-pass Quality-based VBR. Range 0 to 51.
      --sout-x264-qpmin=<integer [0 .. 51]>
                                 Min QP
          Minimum quantizer parameter. 15 to 35 seems to be a useful range.
      --sout-x264-qpmax=<integer [0 .. 51]>
                                 Max QP
          Maximum quantizer parameter.
      --sout-x264-qpstep=<integer [0 .. 51]>
                                 Max QP step
          Max QP step between frames.
      --sout-x264-ratetol=<float [0.000000 .. 100.000000]>

                                 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.
      --osdmenu-alpha=<integer [0 .. 255]>
                                 Alpha transparency value (default 255)
          The transparency of the OSD menu can be changed by giving a value
          between 0 and 255. A lower value specifies more transparency a higher

 Volume normalizer
      --norm-buff-size=<integer> Number of audio buffers
          This is the number of audio buffers on which the power measurement is
          made. A higher number of buffers will increase the response time of
          the filter to a spike but will make 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

                                 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)

      --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.

                                 (default disabled)
          By default the dummy interface plugin will start a DOS command box.
          Enabling the quiet mode will not bring this command box but can also
          be pretty annoying when you want to stop VLC and no video window is
          open. (default disabled)

                                 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)

                                 Hurry up (default disabled)
          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 motion vectors (hq), and raise the noise
          reduction threshold to ease the encoder's task. (default disabled)
      --sout-ffmpeg-interlace, --no-sout-ffmpeg-interlace
                                 Interlaced encoding (default disabled)

                                 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)

                                 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

                                 Replay preamp
          This allows you to change the default target level (89 dB) for stream
          with replay gain information
      --audio-replay-gain-default=<float>
                                 Default replay gain
          This is the gain used for stream without replay gain information
      --audio-replay-gain-peak-protection, --no-audio-replay-gain-peak-protection
                                 Peak protection (default enabled)
          Protect against sound clipping (default enabled)
      --audio-time-stretch, --no-audio-time-stretch
                                 Enable time streching audio (default enabled)

          (default disabled)
      --snapshot-width=<integer> Video snapshot width
          You can enforce the width of the video snapshot. By default it will
          keep the original width (-1). Using 0 will scale the width to keep
          the aspect ratio.
      --snapshot-height=<integer>
                                 Video snapshot height
          You can enforce the height of the video snapshot. By default it will

          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.

          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-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 adds video output filters like clone or wall

 Subpictures
 These options allow you to modify the behavior of the subpictures subsystem. You can for example enable subpictures filters (logo, etc.). Enable these filters here and configure them in the "subpictures filters" modules section. You can also set many miscellaneous subpictures options.
   On Screen Display:
      --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.
   Subtitles:
      --sub-file=<string>        Use subtitle file
          Load this subtitle file. To be used when autodetect cannot detect

                                 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.
   Overlays:
      --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, arbitrary text, ...).
   Track settings:
      --program=<integer>        Program
          Choose the program to select by giving its Service ID. Only use this

   Performance options:
      --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)

                                 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)

          module name. Rules applying to named objects take precendence over
          rules applying to object types. Note that you still need to use -vvv
          to actually display debug message.
  -q, --quiet, --no-quiet        Be quiet (default disabled)
          Turn off all warning and information messages. (default disabled)
