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-x264-keyint=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]> | |||
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 [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]> | |||
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 | |||

--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. | |||

Running the command
vlc --help
will create a .TXT file containnig all the command-line options.
If you look for help, on a particular module, you can also use
vlc -p module --advanced
Undocumented option:
-vvv "Verbose 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 the stable 2.0.0 under 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. If you are looking for 1.0.x help, go VLC-1-0-x_command-line_help. If you are looking for 1.1.x help, go VLC-1-1-x_command-line_help

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.

Part 2/2

--sout-x264-keyint=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
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 [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
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

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.

Kate overlay decoder
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.
