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 1.1.0 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. If you are looking for 1.0.x help, go VLC-1-0-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.

 VBI and Teletext decoder
      --vbi-page=<integer>       Teletext page
          Open the indicated Teletext page.Default page is index 100
      --vbi-opaque, --no-vbi-opaque
                                 Text is always opaque (default enabled)
          Setting vbi-opaque to false makes the boxed text transparent.
          (default enabled)
      --vbi-position={0 (Center), 1 (Left), 2 (Right), 4 (Top), 8 (Bottom), 5 (Top-Left), 6 (Top-Right), 9 (Bottom-Left), 10 (Bottom-Right)}
                                 Teletext alignment
          You can enforce the teletext position on the video (0=center, 1=left,
          2=right, 4=top, 8=bottom, you can also use combinations of these
          values, eg. 6 = top-right).
      --vbi-text, --no-vbi-text  Teletext text subtitles (default disabled)
          Output teletext subtitles as text instead of as RGBA (default
          disabled)

 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={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.
          (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-psy-rd=<string>
                                 Strength of psychovisual optimization,
                                 default is "1.0:0.0"
          First parameter controls if RD is on (subme>=6) or offsecond
          parameter controls if Trellis is used on psychovisual
          optimization,default off
      --sout-x264-psy, --no-sout-x264-psy
                                 Use Psy-optimizations (default enabled)
          Use all visual optimizations that can worsen both PSNR and SSIM
          (default enabled)
      --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-profile={baseline,main,high}
                                 H.264 profile
          Specify H.264 profile which limits are enforced overother settings
      --sout-x264-interlaced, --no-sout-x264-interlaced
                                 Interlaced mode (default disabled)
          Pure-interlaced mode. (default disabled)
      --sout-x264-slices=<integer>
                                 Force number of slices per frame

      --sout-x264-slice-max-size=<integer>
                                 Limit the size of each slice in bytes
          Sets a maximum slice size in bytes, Includes NAL overhead in size
      --sout-x264-slice-max-mbs=<integer>
                                 Limit the size of each slice in macroblocks
          Sets a maximum number of macroblocks per slice

      --sout-x264-qp=<integer [-1 .. 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

                                 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.

          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)

          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).

          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.

          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

          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,

                                 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).

      --user-agent=<string>      (null)
   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

                                 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)
