+.B \-\-aout <module>
+Specify an audio output module: "dsp", "esd", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-stereo, \-\-mono
Choose stereo or mono audio output
.B \-\-novideo
Disable video output.
.TP
-.B \-\-vout <plugin>
-Specify a video output plugin.
+.B \-\-vout <module>
+Specify a video output module: "gnome", "fb", "glide", for instance.
+.TP
+.B \-\-motion <module>
+Specify a module for motion compensation: "motion", "motionmmx", for instance.
+.TP
+.B \-\-idct <module>
+Specify a module for IDCT: "idct", "idctmmx", for instance.
+.TP
+.B \-\-yuv <module>
+Specify a YUV module: "yuv", "yuvmmx", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-display <display>
Specify the display name.
.TP
-.B \-\-width <w>, -\-\height <h>
+.B \-\-width <w>, \-\-height <h>
Choose the display coordinates.
.TP
.B \-g, \-\-grayscale
.B \-\-color
Color output.
.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 \-\-dvd
+Activate DVD mode, by directly accessing the DVD drive (no need to mount
+it). By default,
+.B vlc
+opens /dev/dvd, but this behaviour may be overridden by the vlc_dvd_device
+environment variable (see below).
+.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.
