+ at chapter Codec Options
+ at c man begin CODEC OPTIONS
+
+libavcodec provides some generic global options, which can be set on
+all the encoders and decoders. In addition each codec may support
+so-called private options, which are specific for a given codec.
+
+Sometimes, a global option may only affect a specific kind of codec,
+and may be unsensical or ignored by another, so you need to be aware
+of the meaning of the specified options. Also some options are
+meant only for decoding or encoding.
+
+Options may be set by specifying - at var{option} @var{value} in the
+FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
+ at code{AVCodecContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
+for programmatic use.
+
+The list of supported options follow:
+
+ at table @option
+ at item b @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio,video})
+Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.
+
+ at item ab @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio})
+Set audio bitrate (in bits/s). Default value is 128K.
+
+ at item bt @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
+Set video bitrate tolerance (in bits/s). In 1-pass mode, bitrate
+tolerance specifies how far ratecontrol is willing to deviate from the
+target average bitrate value. This is not related to min/max
+bitrate. Lowering tolerance too much has an adverse effect on quality.
+
+ at item flags @var{flags} (@emph{decoding/encoding,audio,video,subtitles})
+Set generic flags.
+
+Possible values:
+ at table @samp
+ at item mv4
+Use four motion vector by macroblock (mpeg4).

 @c man end DESCRIPTION
 
- at chapter Codec Options
- at c man begin CODEC OPTIONS
-
-libavcodec provides some generic global options, which can be set on
-all the encoders and decoders. In addition each codec may support
-so-called private options, which are specific for a given codec.
-
-Sometimes, a global option may only affect a specific kind of codec,
-and may be unsensical or ignored by another, so you need to be aware
-of the meaning of the specified options. Also some options are
-meant only for decoding or encoding.
-
-Options may be set by specifying - at var{option} @var{value} in the
-FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the
- at code{AVCodecContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
-for programmatic use.
-
-The list of supported options follow:
-
- at table @option
- at item b @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio,video})
-Set bitrate in bits/s. Default value is 200K.
-
- at item ab @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,audio})
-Set audio bitrate (in bits/s). Default value is 128K.
-
- at item bt @var{integer} (@emph{encoding,video})
-Set video bitrate tolerance (in bits/s). In 1-pass mode, bitrate
-tolerance specifies how far ratecontrol is willing to deviate from the
-target average bitrate value. This is not related to min/max
-bitrate. Lowering tolerance too much has an adverse effect on quality.
-
- at item flags @var{flags} (@emph{decoding/encoding,audio,video,subtitles})
-Set generic flags.
-
-Possible values:
- at table @samp
