.SH NAME
vlc, fbvlc, gvlc \- The VideoLAN Client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vlc
.RI [ OPTIONS ]
.RI [ PARAMETERS ]
.RI [ FILE ]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B vlc
, a free MPEG2 player.
.SH OPTIONS
.B vlc
follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
A summary of options is included below.
.TP
.B \-\-noaudio
Disable audio output.
.TP
.B \-\-aout <plugin>
Specify an audio output plugin: "dsp", "esd", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-stereo, \-\-mono
Choose stereo or mono audio output
.TP
.B \-\-novideo
Disable video output.
.TP
.B \-\-vout <plugin>
Specify a video output plugin: "gnome", "fb", "glide", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-yuv <plugin>
Specify a YUV plugin: "mmx", "nommx", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-display <display>
Specify the display name.
.TP
.B \-\-width <w>, \-\-height <h>
Choose the display coordinates.
.TP
.B \-g, \-\-grayscale
Grayscale output.
.TP
.B \-\-color
Color output.
.TP
.B \-a, \-\-dvdaudio [ ac3 | lpcm | mpeg | off ]
Choose the audio channel type. Most DVDs have AC3 audio channels, but
you can also have Linear PCM or MPEG layer 2 sound. Also, one might decide
not to activate the audio channel.
.TP
.B \-c, \-\-dvdchannel [ 0\-15 ]
Select the audio channel. Most DVDs only have one or two audio channels,
but some of them have a great number of available languages. Note that the
audio channel will also depend on the channel type.
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-dvdsubtitle [ 0\-31 ]
Select the subtitle channel, if there is one in the stream.
.TP
.B \-\-novlans
Disable VLANs support.
.TP
.B \-\-server <host>, \-\-port <port>
Choose the video server address and port.
.TP
.B \-\-synchro <type>
Choose a fixed synchro value instead of the internal auto-adaptative
heuristics based on CPU usage.
`I' displays only I images, `IP' displays I and P images, `IP+'
displays I and P images and every second B image, and `IPB' forces
displaying of all images.
Note that the vlc is certainly going to crash if you ask it to
display more images than your CPU can cope with.
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Print help and exit.
.TP
.B \-H, \-\-longhelp
Print long help and exit.
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-version
Output version information and exit.
