[MPlayer-DOCS] [PATCH] update x264 parameters in man page

[Corey Hickey]

Hello,

x264 has grown out of sync with the documentation in the mplayer man
page. This patch attempts to correct that by changing every incorrect
default I found and by documenting every undocumented parameter which I
was able to describe.

Most of the descriptions are from the x264 commit messages and the
source code. I make no guarantee that the parameters are described
correctly--I did my best, but I haven't (yet) used many of them.

* update defaults:
  frameref to 3
  bframes to 3
  subq to 6
  trellis to 1
  threads to 0 (auto)

* document the following parameters:
  intra_refresh
  mbtree
  rc_lookahead
  weightp
  psy
  sliced_threads
  slice_max_size
  slice_max_mbs
  slices
  sync_lookahead
  deterministic
  constrained_intra
  aud
  dump_yuv

There are several parameters for which I am unable to write a coherent
description; these are not included in the patch:

overscan
videoformat
fullrange
colorprim
transfer
colormatrix
chromaloc
cabac_idc
sps_id
annexb


Comments?

Thanks,
Corey
