+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I mplayer
+Yes. Yet another movie player for linux.
+What is the special with this? It works, at least for me :)
+I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN,
+xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with
+special files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play
+both mpeg1, mpeg2 and avi (DivX) files. Many players have image quality
+or speed problems too. So I've decided to write/modify one...
+.LP
+.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
+.TP
+.I NOTE
+MPlayer works out-of-the-box, so you generally don't have to mess with
+any options.
+.TP
+.BI \-vo\ output\ driver
+select output driver
+
+you can get the list of available drivers executing
+.I mplayer -vo help
+
+.TP
+.BI \-vcd\ track
+play video cd track from device instead of plain file
+.TP
+.BI \-nosound
+don't play sound
+.TP
+.B \-fs
+fullscreen playing (only gl, xmga and xv drivers)
+
+.I NOTE
+The X11 driver doesn't support fullscreen and scaling.
+However, you can do it yourself, just press ALT,CTRL,-
+or ALT,CTRL,+ simultaneously, see X-server docs for details.
+.TP
+.B \-x\ x
+scale image to x width [if driver suppports!]
+.TP
+.B \-y\ y
+scale image to y height
+.TP
+.B \-xy\ factor
+scale image by <factor>
+.TP
+.B \-dsp\ device
+select another DSP output device
+.TP
+.B \-divxq\ quality
+apply postprocess filter on decoded image.
+You need a STRONG CPU in order to use this!
+The supported formats and settings are:
+
+ MPEG1 1, 3, 7, 31
+ OpenDivX 1-59 (maybe less/more)
+ DivX not YET supported
+
+.I NOTE
+You can use this with OpenDivX encoding too! See ALPHA/BETA CODE section.
+.IP
+.SH KEYBOARD CONTROL
+.TP
+.I NOTE
+These keys may/may not work, depending on your video output driver.
+.TP
+ <- or -> seek backward/forward 10 seconds
+
+up or down seek backward/forward 1 minute
+
+p or SPACE pause movie (press any key)
+
+q or ESC stop playing and quit program
+
++ or - adjust audio delay by +/- 0.1 second
+.IP
+.SH "ADVANCED OPTIONS"
+.TP
+.I NOTE
+These options can help you solve your particular problem.. Also, see the DOCS!
+.TP
+.B \-afm <1-5>
+force audio format 1:MPEG 2:PCM 3:AC3 4:Win32 5:aLaw
+
+.I NOTE
+With DivX AVIs with MP3 audio, you can choose whether to use MP3LIB (option 1),
+or Win32 DLL l3codeca.acm (option 4) (default). On CPUs with the 3DNow!
+instruction set, the first gives more performance. Your mileage may vary.
+.TP
+.BI \-sb\ position
+seek to byte position
+.TP
+.BI \-abs\ bytes
+audio buffer size (in bytes, default: measuring)
+.TP
+.B \-delay\ secs
+audio delay in seconds (may be +/- float value)
+.TP
+.B \-bps
+use avg. byte/sec value for A-V sync (AVI)
+.TP
+.B \-noalsa
+disable timing code
+.TP
+.B \-aid\ id
+select audio channel [MPG: 0-31 AVI: 1-99]
+.TP
+.B \-vid\ id
