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 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
  <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
  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

 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)

                                 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

                                 Min QP

                                 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.

 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.

                                 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.

          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

 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.
Note that changing settings below will not take effect until a new stream is played. This will hopefully be fixed soon.

                                 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)

      --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).

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-fast, --no-ffmpeg-fast
                                 Allow speed tricks (default disabled)
          Allow non specification compliant speedup tricks. Faster but

                                 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)

          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.

                                 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).

   Special modules:
      --memcpy=<string>          Memory copy module
          You can select which memory copy module you want to use. By default
          VLC will select the fastest one supported by your hardware.
   Plugins:
      --plugins-cache, --no-plugins-cache
                                 Use a plugins cache (default enabled)

          VLC. (default enabled)
      --plugin-path=<string>     Modules search path
          Additional path for VLC to look for its modules. You can add several
          paths by concatenating them using " PATH_SEP " as separator
   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)
      --started-from-file, --no-started-from-file
                                 VLC is started from file association (default
                                 disabled)
          Tell VLC that it is being launched due to a file association in the
          OS (default disabled)
      --one-instance-when-started-from-file, --no-one-instance-when-started-from-file
                                 One instance when started from file (default
                                 enabled)
          Allow only one running instance when started from file. (default
          enabled)
      --playlist-enqueue, --no-playlist-enqueue
                                 Enqueue items to playlist when in one
                                 instance mode (default disabled)
          When using the one instance only option, enqueue items to playlist
          and keep playing current item. (default disabled)
      --high-priority, --no-high-priority
                                 Increase the priority of the process (default
                                 disabled)
          Increasing the priority of the process will very likely improve your
          playing experience as it allows VLC not to be disturbed by other
          applications that could otherwise take too much processor time.
          However be advised that in certain circumstances (bugs) VLC could
          take all the processor time and render the whole system unresponsive
          which might require a reboot of your machine. (default disabled)

          refers to all objects. Objects can be refered to by their type or
          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)
