82 Visualize motion vectors.
84 Non-spec-compliant optimizations.
88 Force RTP/TCP protocol usage instead of RTP/UDP. It is only meaningful

90 @item -sync @var{type}
91 Set the master clock to audio (@code{type=audio}), video
92 (@code{type=video}) or external (@code{type=ext}). Default is audio. The
93 master clock is used to control audio-video synchronization. Most media
94 players use audio as master clock, but in some cases (streaming or high
95 quality broadcast) it is necessary to change that. This option is mainly
96 used for debugging purposes.
