:''See also [[Command line]], [[Console|Console interfaces]]''
As you may have noticed, running the command
 vlc --help
on some [[command prompt]]s 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 0.9.8a in Windows. If you are looking for 0.8.6 help, go [[VLC-0-8-6_command-line_help]].

Part 1/2
  <nowiki>
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

  [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
 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. (default
          enabled)
      --volume=<integer [0 .. 1024]>
                                 Default audio volume
          You can set the default audio output volume here, in a range from 0
          to 1024.
      --volume-step=<integer [0 .. 1024]>
                                 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.
      --audio-replay-gain-mode={none,track,album}
                                 Replay gain mode
          Select the replay gain mode
      --audio-replay-gain-preamp=<float>
                                 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)
  -A, --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
 These options allow you to modify the behavior of the video output subsystem. You can for example enable video filters (deinterlacing, image adjusting, etc.). Enable these filters here and configure them in the "video filters" modules section. You can also set many miscellaneous video options.
      --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)

      --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)
          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)

          Use sequential numbers instead of timestamps for snapshot numbering
          (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
          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).
      --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.
      --video-filter=<string>    Video filter module
          This adds post-processing filters to enhance the picture quality, for
          instance deinterlacing, or distortthe video.
      --vout-filter=<string>     Video output filter 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 disabled)
          VLC can display messages on the video. This is called OSD (On Screen
          Display). (default disabled)

                                 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

          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

          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

          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.

      --sap-flow-control, --no-sap-flow-control
                                 Control SAP flow (default disabled)
          If this option is enabled, the flow on the SAP multicast address will
          be controlled. This is needed if you want to make 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

          stream (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

                                 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)

 FFmpeg audio/video decoder
 Various audio and video decoders/encodersdelivered by the FFmpeg library. This includes (MS)MPEG4, DivX, SV1,H261, H263, H264, WMV, WMA, AAC, AMR, DV, MJPEG and other codecs
   Decoding:
      --ffmpeg-dr, --no-ffmpeg-dr
                                 Direct rendering (default enabled)
          Direct rendering (default enabled)
      --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 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. (default enabled)
      --ffmpeg-skip-frame=<integer [-1 .. 4]>
                                 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).
      --ffmpeg-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).
      --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 [0 .. 2]>
                                 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-debug=<integer>   Debug mask
          Set ffmpeg debug mask

                                 Ratio of key frames
          Number of frames that will be coded for one key frame.
      --sout-ffmpeg-bframes=<integer>

                                 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)

                                 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. (default disabled)
      --sout-ffmpeg-qmin=<integer>

          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)

          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)

      --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.

      --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

          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

          the TS-header from the value before encrypting.

 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
          floating point number. A value between 0.5 and 10 seems sensible.

                                 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)

                                 disabled)
          Create video buffers in system memory instead of video memory. This
          isn't recommended as usually using video memory allows to benefit
          from more hardware acceleration (like rescaling or YUV->RGB
          conversions). This option doesn't have any effect when using
          overlays. (default disabled)
      --directx-3buffering, --no-directx-3buffering
                                 Use triple buffering for overlays (default
                                 enabled)
          Try to use triple buffering when using YUV overlays. That results in
          much better video quality (no flickering). (default enabled)
      --directx-device={}        Name of desired display device
          In a multiple monitor configuration, you can specify the Windows

      --directx-wallpaper, --no-directx-wallpaper
                                 Enable wallpaper mode  (default disabled)
          The wallpaper mode allows you to display the video as the desktop
          background. Note that this feature only works in overlay mode and the
          desktop must not already have a wallpaper. (default disabled)

 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 [-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-pre-scenecut, --no-sout-x264-pre-scenecut
                                 Faster, less precise scenecut detection

          Force the specified number of consecutive B-frames to be used, except
          possibly before an I-frame. (default enabled)
      --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)

      --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)

                                 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)

                                 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]>
