Therefore I tried to understand this “VLC-1-1-x command-line help” http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC-1-1-x_command-line_help
But when you are a absolute beginner it is hard to understand
There should be a basic beginner (idiot, if you will) guide – I would like to offer to help writing it but of course I need to understand it first
What is the problem you might ask? Let me give you some examples from the guide “VLC-1-1-x command-line help”
No it won’t – sorry to tell (I just get a message in my OS-language (Danish) which doesn’t make sense)Running the command
vlc --help
will create a .TXT file containnig all the command-line options
The first thing you can read about in the help/Guide for the command line feature is this:
If you are a beginner it is very hard to find out what that means without an introductory explanation. Just as the first thing to write “Usage: vlc [options] [stream]” is a bit (or really to much) private in talk – and that is my point - cause a beginner is not consent to this jargonUsage: vlc [options] [stream] ...
You can specify multiple streams on the commandline. They will be enqueued in the playlist.
The first item specified will be played first.
And the talking about a “playlist”? Do beginners not start thinking about a conventional playlist of music or video tracks?
And the beginners continue frustrating if reading further – I do not want to bore you – but here are just a coupe examples from the next following lines of the Guide:
(What is MRL)-option A single letter version of a global --option.
Stream MRL syntax

Also I will bang the drum for more examples – some basic examples and not like this:
% vlc -vvv input_stream --sout
'#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace}:
rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42,sdp=sap,name="TestStream"}'
