Audio
−
      -

These options allow you to modify the behavior of the audio subsystem, and to add audio filters which can be used for post processing or visual effects (spectrum analyzer, etc.). Enable these filters here, and configure them in the "audio filters" modules section.
 +
      --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.
 +
      --gain=<float [0.000000 .. 8.000000]>
 +
                                Audio gain
 +
          This linear gain will be applied to outputted audio.
 +
      --volume-step=<float [1.000000 .. 256.000000]>
 +
                                Audio output volume step
 +
          The step size of the volume is adjustable using this option.
 +
      --volume-save, --no-volume-save
 +
                                Remember the audio volume
 +
                                (default enabled)
 +
          Remember the audio volume
 +
      --spdif, --no-spdif        Force S/PDIF support
 +
                                (default disabled)
 +
          This option should be used when the audio output can't negotiate
 +
          S/PDIF support.
 +
      --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.
 +
      --stereo-mode={0 (Unset), 1 (Stereo), 2 (Reverse stereo), 3 (Left), 4 (Right), 5 (Dolby Surround), 6 (Headphones)}
 +
                                Stereo audio output mode
 +
          Stereo audio output mode
 +
      --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.
 +
      --audio-replay-gain-mode={none,track,album}
 +
                                Replay gain mode
 +
          Select the replay gain mode
 +
      --audio-replay-gain-preamp=<float [-340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000 .. 340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000]>
 +
                                Replay preamp
 +
          This allows you to change the default target level (89 dB) for stream
 +
          with replay gain information
 +
      --audio-replay-gain-default=<float [-340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000 .. 340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000]>
 +
                                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
 +
      --audio-time-stretch, --no-audio-time-stretch
 +
                                Enable time stretching audio
 +
                                (default enabled)
 +
          This allows playing audio at lower or higher speed without affecting
 +
          the audio pitch
 +
  -A, --aout={any,mmdevice,directsound,waveout,amem,afile,adummy,none}
 +
                                Audio output module
 +
          This is the audio output method used by VLC. The default behavior is
 +
          to automatically select the best method available.
 +
      --role={video,music,communication,game,notification,animation,production,accessibility,test}

Running the command 

vlc --help

will create a .TXT file containing all the command-line options.

You can also use this to get more exhaustive list: 

vlc -H

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

vlc -p module --advanced --help-verbose

--help-verbose explains things. Omit this option if too much output is generated

To view this without leaving the command-line in Windows, use the following command (assuming you installed it in the default folder): 

more "%PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc-help.txt"

This trick uses the command-line command more to show the file screen-by-screen. Pressing spacebar will advance the output a screen at a time, and pressing enter will advance the output one line at a time.

Undocumented option: 

-vv     "Verbose verbose". Verbose output (debug infos can be displayed by selecting "Debug logging" interface under View->Add Interface menu)

Here's the output of vlc -H of vlc-4.0.0-dev under Windows. If the text is too small, pressing Ctrl and + together in most browsers will increase the font size (reset with Ctrl and 0 together). 

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:///path/file              Plain media file
  http://host[:port]/file        HTTP URL
  ftp://host[:port]/file         FTP URL
  mms://host[:port]/file         MMS URL
  screen://                      Screen capture
  dvd://[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>          Pause the playlist for a certain time
  vlc://quit                     Special item to quit VLC

                                 Streaming deinterlace mode
          Deinterlace method to use for streaming.
      --sout-deinterlace-phosphor-chroma={1 (Latest), 2 (AltLine), 3 (Blend), 4 (Upconvert)} 
                                 Phosphor chroma mode for 4:2:0 input
          Choose handling for colours in those output frames that fall across
          input frame boundaries.   Latest: take chroma from new (bright) field
          only. Good for interlaced input, such as videos from a camcorder.  
          AltLine: take chroma line 1 from top field, line 2 from bottom field,
          etc.  Default, good for NTSC telecined input (anime DVDs, etc.).  
          Blend: average input field chromas. May distort the colours of the
          new (bright) field, too.   Upconvert: output in 4:2:2 format
          (independent chroma for each field). Best simulation, but requires
          more CPU and memory bandwidth.
      --sout-deinterlace-phosphor-dimmer={1 (Off), 2 (Low), 3 (Medium), 4 (High)}

          This controls the strength of the darkening filter that simulates CRT
          TV phosphor light decay for the old field in the Phosphor framerate
          doubler. Default: Low.

                                 ID
          Integer identifier for this elementary stream. This will be used to
          "find" this stream later.
      --sout-bridge-out-in-name=<string> 
                                 Destination bridge-in name
          Name of the destination bridge-in. If you do not need more than one
          bridge-in at a time, you can discard this option.

                                 Delay
          Pictures coming from the picture video outputs will be delayed
          according to this value (in milliseconds, should be >= 100 ms). For
          high values, you will need to raise caching values.

                                 Name of current instance
          Name of this bridge-in instance. If you do not need more than one
          bridge-in at a time, you can discard this option.
      --sout-bridge-in-placeholder, --no-sout-bridge-in-placeholder

                                 (default disabled)
          If set to true, the bridge will discard all input elementary streams
          except if it doesn't receive data from another bridge-in. This can be
          used to configure a place holder stream when the real source breaks.
          Source and placeholder streams should have the same format.
      --sout-bridge-in-placeholder-delay=<integer> 
                                 Placeholder delay

                                 (default enabled)
          If enabled, switching between the placeholder and the normal stream
          will only occur on I frames. This will remove artifacts on stream
          switching at the expense of a slightly longer delay, depending on the
          frequence of I frames in the streams.

          Custom SAT>IP channel list URL

 Network streams (SAP) (sap)
      --sap-addr=<string>        SAP multicast address
          The SAP module normally chooses itself the right addresses to listen
          to. However, you can specify a specific address.
      --sap-timeout=<integer>    SAP timeout (seconds)
          Delay after which SAP items get deleted if no new announcement is
          received.
      --sap-parse, --no-sap-parse 
                                 Try to parse the announce
                                 (default enabled)
          This enables actual parsing of the announces by the SAP module.
          Otherwise, all announcements are parsed by the "live555" (RTP/RTSP)
          module.
      --sap-strict, --no-sap-strict 
                                 SAP Strict mode
                                 (default disabled)
          When this is set, the SAP parser will discard some non-compliant
          announcements.

                                 (default disabled)
          Normally the packetizer would sync on the next full frame. This flags
          instructs the packetizer to sync on the first Intra Frame found.

 TS muxer (libdvbpsi) (mux_ts)
      --sout-ts-standard={dvb,atsc}

          Assign a fixed PID to the SPU.
      --sout-ts-pid-pmt=<integer [32 .. 8190]> 
                                 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 having the same PIDs in the input and
          output streams.
      --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. This requires "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.
      --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.
      --sout-ts-pcr=<integer>    PCR interval (ms)
          Set at which interval PCRs (Program Clock Reference) will be sent (in

          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.

          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.

 VBI and Teletext decoder (zvbi)
      --vbi-page=<integer [0 .. 7995392]>

 H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC encoder (x264) (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. Use -1 for infinite.
      --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-opengop, --no-sout-x264-opengop 
                                 Use recovery points to close GOPs
                                 (default disabled)
          use open GOP, for bluray compatibility use also bluray-compat option
      --sout-x264-bluray-compat, --no-sout-x264-bluray-compat 
                                 Enable compatibility hacks for Blu-ray support
                                 (default disabled)
          Enable hacks for Blu-ray support, this doesn't enforce every aspect
          of Blu-ray compatibility e.g. resolution, framerate, level
      --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={none,strict,normal} 
                                 Keep some B-frames as references
          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.  - none: Disabled  - strict: Strictly
          hierarchical pyramid  - normal: Non-strict (not Blu-ray compatible) 
      --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.
      --sout-x264-fullrange, --no-sout-x264-fullrange 
                                 Use fullrange instead of TV colorrange
                                 (default disabled)
          TV-range is usually used colorrange, defining this to true will
          enable libx264 to use full colorrange on encoding
      --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

                                 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-psy-rd=<string> 
                                 Strength of psychovisual optimization, default

          I-frames; if IdrInterval=0, then every I-frame is an IDR-frame. If
          IdrInterval=1, then every other I-frame is an IDR-frame, etc. For
          MPEG2, IdrInterval defines sequence header interval in terms of
          I-frames. If IdrInterval=N, SDK inserts the sequence header before
          every Nth I-frame. If IdrInterval=0 (default), SDK inserts the
          sequence header once at the beginning of the stream.

          the requested bitrate with the requested accuracy. See the accuracy
          parameter.
      --sout-qsv-num-slice=<integer> 
                                 Number of slices per frame
          Number of slices in each video frame; each slice contains one or more
          macro-block rows. If numslice is not set, the encoder may choose any
          slice partitioning allowed by the codec standard.
      --sout-qsv-num-ref-frame=<integer> 
                                 Number of reference frames

          Defines the number of parallel encoding operations before we
          synchronise the result. Higher numbers may result on better
          throughput depending on hardware. MPEG2 needs at least 1 here.

 Kate overlay decoder (kate)
 Kate is a codec for text and image based overlays.
The Tiger rendering library is needed to render complex Kate streams, but VLC can still render static text and image based subtitles if it is not available.
Note that changing settings below will not take effect until a new stream is played. This will hopefully be fixed soon.
      --kate-formatted, --no-kate-formatted 
                                 Formatted Subtitles
                                 (default enabled)
          Kate streams allow for text formatting. VLC partly implements this,
          but you can choose to disable all formatting. Note that this has no
          effect is rendering via Tiger is enabled.

 JPEG image decoder (jpeg)
   Encoding:

          Chorus
      --synth-gain=<float [0.000000 .. 10.000000]> 
                                 Synthesis gain
          This gain is applied to synthesis output. High values may cause
          saturation when many notes are played at a time.
      --synth-polyphony=<integer [1 .. 65535]> 
                                 Polyphony
          The polyphony defines how many voices can be played at a time. Larger
          values require more processing power.
      --synth-reverb, --no-synth-reverb 
                                 Reverb
                                 (default enabled)

                                 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).
      --dvbsub-x=<integer>       Decoding X coordinate
          X coordinate of the rendered subtitle
      --dvbsub-y=<integer>       Decoding Y coordinate
          Y coordinate of the rendered subtitle
      --sout-dvbsub-x=<integer>  Encoding X coordinate

      --dummy-save-es, --no-dummy-save-es 
                                 Save raw codec data
                                 (default disabled)
          Save the raw codec data if you have selected/forced the dummy decoder
          in the main options.

 DTS Coherent Acoustics audio decoder (dca)
      --dts-dynrng, --no-dts-dynrng 
                                 DTS 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)
          Prefer visual artifacts instead of missing frames
      --avcodec-error-resilience=<integer> 
                                 Error resilience
          libavcodec 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).
      --avcodec-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.
      --avcodec-hurry-up, --no-avcodec-hurry-up 
                                 Hurry up
                                 (default enabled)
          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.
      --avcodec-skip-frame={-1 (None), 0 (Default), 1 (Non-ref), 2 (Bidir), 3 (Non-key), 4 (All)} 
                                 Skip frame (default=0)
          Force skipping of frames to speed up decoding (-1=None, 0=Default,
          1=B-frames, 2=P-frames, 3=B+P frames, 4=all frames).
      --avcodec-skip-idct=<integer [-1 .. 4]> 
                                 Skip idct (default=0)
          Force skipping of idct to speed up decoding for frame types (-1=None,
          0=Default, 1=B-frames, 2=P-frames, 3=B+P frames, 4=all frames).
      --avcodec-fast, --no-avcodec-fast 
                                 Allow speed tricks
                                 (default disabled)
          Allow non specification compliant speedup tricks. Faster but
          error-prone.
      --avcodec-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.
      --avcodec-debug=<integer>  Debug mask
          Set FFmpeg debug mask
      --avcodec-codec=<string>   Codec name

          Internal libavcodec codec name
      --sout-avcodec-hq={rd,bits,simple} 
                                 Quality level
          Quality level for the encoding of motions vectors (this can slow down
          the encoding very much).
      --sout-avcodec-keyint=<integer> 
                                 Ratio of key frames
          Number of frames that will be coded for one key frame.

                                 (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.
      --sout-avcodec-interlace, --no-sout-avcodec-interlace 
                                 Interlaced encoding

          Enable the pre-motion estimation algorithm.
      --sout-avcodec-rc-buffer-size=<integer> 
                                 Rate control buffer size
          Rate control buffer size (in kbytes). A bigger buffer will allow for
          better rate control, but will cause a delay in the stream.
      --sout-avcodec-rc-buffer-aggressivity=<float [-340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000 .. 340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000]>

                                 I quantization factor
          Quantization factor of I frames, compared with P frames (for instance
          1.0 => same qscale for I and P frames).
      --sout-avcodec-noise-reduction=<integer> 
                                 Noise reduction
          Enable a simple noise reduction algorithm to lower the encoding
          length and bitrate, at the expense of lower quality frames.
      --sout-avcodec-mpeg4-matrix, --no-sout-avcodec-mpeg4-matrix 
                                 MPEG4 quantization matrix
                                 (default disabled)
          Use the MPEG4 quantization matrix for MPEG2 encoding. This generally
          yields a better looking picture, while still retaining the
          compatibility with standard MPEG2 decoders.
      --sout-avcodec-qmin=<integer>

      --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.

 Volume normalizer (normvol)
      --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 [-340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000 .. 340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000]> 
                                 Maximal volume 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.

 Stereo to mono downmixer (mono)
      --sout-mono-downmix, --no-sout-mono-downmix

                                 (default enabled)
          This option selects a stereo to mono downmix algorithm that is used
          in the headphone channel mixer. It gives the effect of standing in a
          room full of speakers.
      --sout-mono-channel={0 (Left), 1 (Right), 4 (Rear left), 5 (Rear right), 7 (Center), 8 (Low-frequency effects), 2 (Side left), 3 (Side right), 6 (Rear center)} 
                                 Select channel to keep
          This option silences all other channels except the selected channel.

 Headphone virtual spatialization effect (headphone)
 This effect gives you the feeling that you are standing in a room with a complete 7.1 speaker set when using only a headphone, providing a more realistic sound experience. It should also be more comfortable and less tiring when listening to music for long periods of time.
It works with any source format from mono to 7.1.
      --headphone-dim=<integer>  Characteristic dimension
          Distance between front left speaker and listener in meters.
      --headphone-compensate, --no-headphone-compensate 
                                 Compensate delay
                                 (default disabled)
          The delay which is introduced by the physical algorithm may sometimes
          be disturbing for the synchronization between lips-movement and
          speech. In case, turn this on to compensate.
      --headphone-dolby, --no-headphone-dolby 
                                 No decoding of Dolby Surround
                                 (default disabled)
          Dolby Surround encoded streams won't be decoded before being
          processed by this filter. Enabling this setting is not recommended.

                                 (default disabled)
          Use sequential numbers instead of timestamps for snapshot numbering
      --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
          keep the original height (-1). Using 0 will scale the height to keep
          the aspect ratio.
   Window properties:
      --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).

          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 separated 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.
      --autoscale, --no-autoscale 
                                 Video Auto Scaling

          Let the video scale to fit a given window or fullscreen.
      --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 separated 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.
      --video-deco, --no-video-deco 
                                 Window decorations

          VLC can avoid creating window caption, frames, etc... around the
          video, giving a "minimal" window.
      --video-title=<string>     Video title
          Custom title for the video window (in case the video is not embedded
          in the interface).

                                 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 [-340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000 .. 340282346638528859811704183484516925440.000000]>

                                 Video output module
          This is the the video output method used by VLC. The default behavior
          is to automatically select the best method available.
      --video-filter=<string>    Video filter module
          This adds post-processing filters to enhance the picture quality, for
          instance deinterlacing, or distort the video.

                                 (default enabled)
          VLC can display messages on the video. This is called OSD (On Screen
          Display).
      --text-renderer={any,freetype,tdummy,sapi,none} 
                                 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

      --lua, --no-lua            Disable all lua plugins
                                 (default enabled)
          Disable all lua plugins

 Decoders
 This option can be used to alter the way VLC selects its codecs (decompression methods). Only advanced users should alter this option as it can break playback of all your streams.
      --codec=<string>           Preferred decoders list
          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.
      --encoder=<string>         Preferred encoders list
          This allows you to select a list of encoders that VLC will use in

          as a global option unless you really know what you are doing.
      --demux={any,mp4,avi,asf,es,flacsys,mpc,nuv,tta,wav,caf,sid,sap,ogg,mkv,live555,smf,adaptive,ts,xa,gme,aiff,directory,rawvid,image,pva,voc,mod,au,nsv,ps,ty,h26x,h26x,dvdnav,libbluray,mpgv,mjpeg,rawdv,demux_cdg,nsc,webvtt,ttml,avcodec,ps,vobsub,demux_stl,vc1,es,subtitle,real,demuxdump,stats,rawaud,webvtt,none} 
                                 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.

          You can enter here a default stream output chain. Refer to the
          documentation to learn how to build such chains. Warning: this chain
          will be enabled for all streams.
      --sout-display, --no-sout-display 
                                 Display while streaming
                                 (default disabled)
          Play locally the stream while streaming it.
      --sout-keep, --no-sout-keep 
                                 Keep stream output open
                                 (default disabled)
          This allows you to keep an unique stream output instance across
          multiple playlist item (automatically insert the gather stream output
          if not specified)
      --sout-all, --no-sout-all  Enable streaming of all ES
                                 (default enabled)

                                 Access output module
          This is a legacy entry to let you configure access output modules
      --ttl=<integer>            Hop limit (TTL)
          This is the hop limit (also known as "Time-To-Live" or TTL) of the
          multicast packets sent by the stream output (-1 = use operating
          system built-in default).
      --miface=<string>          Multicast output interface
          Default multicast interface. This overrides the routing table.
      --dscp=<integer>           DiffServ Code Point

      --packetizer={any,aes3,theora,speex,lpcm,rawvideo,vorbis,spudec,svcdsub,mpegvideo,cvdsub,mpeg4video,vc1,mpeg4audio,mlp,flac,h264,hevc,avcodec,oggspots,mpegaudio,a52,dts,copy,none} 
                                 Preferred packetizer list
          This allows you to select the order in which VLC will choose its
          packetizers.

 Miscellaneous
 These options allow you to select default modules. Leave these alone unless you really know what you are doing.
   Special modules:
      --vod-server={any,stream_out_rtp,rtsp,none} 
                                 VoD server module
          You can select which VoD server module you want to use. Set this to
          'vod_rtsp' to switch back to the old, legacy module.
   Plugins:
      --plugins-cache, --no-plugins-cache 
                                 Use a plugins cache
                                 (default enabled)
          Use a plugins cache which will greatly improve the startup time of
          VLC.
      --plugins-scan, --no-plugins-scan 
                                 Scan for new plugins
                                 (default enabled)
          Scan plugin directories for new plugins at startup. This increases
          the startup time of VLC.
      --keystore=<string>        Preferred keystore list
          List of keystores that VLC will use in priority.
   Performance options:
      --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.
      --clock-source={,interrupt,tick,multimedia,perf,wall} 
                                 Clock source

                                 (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 open a file in
          your file manager. This option will allow you to play the file with
          the already running instance or enqueue it.
      --started-from-file, --no-started-from-file 
                                 VLC is started from file association

          and keep playing current item.
      --media-library, --no-media-library 
                                 Use media library
                                 (default disabled)
          The media library is automatically saved and reloaded each time you
          start VLC.
      --playlist-tree, --no-playlist-tree 
                                 Display playlist tree
                                 (default disabled)
          The playlist can use a tree to categorize some items, like the
          contents of a directory.
      --open=<string>            Default stream
          This stream will always be opened at VLC startup.
