transcode with 'motion blur' from command line

I have a vob file that I would like to edit and save with VLC. Basically all I need to do is crop the video and add the "Motion Blur" effect. Everything works great when I play the vob file and then enable those options, but unfortunately I don't know how to output the video so that those settings are applied permanently. Is there a way to do this from the command line? I don't really need the video converted from one format to another. Since the vob file is already encoded as mpeg-2 I'd prefer to leave the encoding alone. I just need to apply the crop and "motion blur" effects to the mpeg-2 output. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was able to set the motion blur value with the following command:

vlc --blur-factor=65 /path/to/file

Unfortunately it doesn't actually enable the motion blur, it just sets slider bar value. How can I actually enable the motion blur from the command line?

I finally found the command line argument to enable motionblur, but I still can't seem to apply the video filters to the output file. The file opens in vlc and the filters are enabled successfully, but the output file still looks identical to the original. Any suggestions?

vlc /path/to/oldfile.vob --video-filter=colorthres:motionblur --blur-factor=65 --sout '#standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=/path/to/newfile.mpg}'

took me some time to figure it out:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --video-filter=adjust:motionblur --contrast=1.6 --brightness=1.3 --saturation=2.4 --gamma=0.53 --blur-factor=15 dvd://d:

Would you mind expandin a bit on that for a complete nuub such as myself?
I have been struggling with AE to achieve something similar, but since my client specifically asked for "the VLC motion blur effect" I'd rather save my time and do just that :)
If you still folloeing this that is :Æ
