Sorry, my goof.  MANPATH=$prefix/man -> $prefix/share/man, and BINGO.

This works for the second EVO of Troy:
mplayer -demuxer lavf -lavfdopts format=mpeg -aid 3  \
        ./HVDVD_TS/feature_TROYDCN6LB1_HD_L1.EVO

Thanks so much.  Basically, all my troubles came from an incorrect
$MANPATH, which made me fall through to some antique manpage and I
thought lavf doesn't have any control options :-)

Can I submit some hexdump so that autodetection can deal with this file
in later code?
