Hi, this patch documents how to use -ac hwmpa. Since I'm not very familiar with XML and with the structure of docs I'd like that someone of you would review it.

General note: It's better to keep lines between 70 and 80 characters per line. That helps diffs readability. +<sect2 id="hwmpa"> +<title>Hardware MPEG audio codec</title> + +<para> +This codec passes through MPEG audio packets to hardare decoders, such as the ones I'd add the name of the codec here, like: +This codec (selected by) -ac hwmpa) passes through MPEG audio packets to hardware decoders, such as the ones +<itemizedlist> +<title>To enable passthrough on the command line:</title> +<listitem> +<para> + <option>-ac hwmpa</option> +</para> +</listitem> +</itemizedlist> I's not really what you wanna write. You should either use just the <screen> tag: <para> Two pass encode of the second track a DVD to an MPEG-4 ("DivX") AVI while copying the audio track. <screen> mencoder dvd://2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac copy -o /dev/null mencoder dvd://2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 -oac copy -o <replaceable>output.avi</replaceable> </screen> </para> or use the more sophisticated <example> structure.

"roumours" is not an English word, "rumors" is probably not what you mean either... Diego

rephrased with "white noise" after your advice.
