-pvr <option1:option2:...> (PVR only)
This option tunes various encoding properties of the PVR capture module. 
It has to be used with any hardware MPEG encoder based card sup‐
ported by the V4L2 driver. The Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150/250/350/500 and 
all IVTV based cards are known as PVR capture cards. Be aware that
only Linux 2.6.18 kernel and above is able to handle MPEG stream through 
V4L2 layer. For hardware capture of an MPEG stream and watching
it with MPlayer/MEncoder, use ’pvr://’ as a movie URL.

Available options are:

aspect=<0-3>
Specify input aspect ratio:
0: 1:1
1: 4:3 (default)
2: 16:9
3: 2.21:1

arate=<32000-48000>
Specify encoding audio rate (default: 48000 Hz, available: 32000, 44100 
and 48000 Hz).

alayer=<1-3>
Specify MPEG audio layer encoding (default: 2).

abitrate=<32-448>
Specify audio encoding bitrate in kbps (default: 384).

amode=<value>
Specify audio encoding mode. Available preset values are ’stereo’, 
’joint_stereo’, ’dual’ and ’mono’ (default: stereo).

vbitrate=<value>
Specify average video bitrate encoding in Mbps (default: 6).

vmode=<value>
Specify video encoding mode:
vbr: Variable BitRate (default)
cbr: Constant BitRate

vpeak=<value>
Specify peak video bitrate encoding in Mbps (only useful for VBR 
encoding, default: 9.6).

fmt=<value>
Choose an MPEG format for encoding:
ps: MPEG-2 Program Stream (default)
ts: MPEG-2 Transport Stream
mpeg1: MPEG-1 System Stream
vcd: Video CD compatible stream
svcd: Super Video CD compatible stream
dvd: DVD compatible stream
