Yes and no!

# man mencoder/man mplayer gives a list of xvid options and how to use 
them, BUT ...

1) It is a ":" double dot You need to put inbetween the options, not a 
semi colon ";". (Just correcting, not complaining ;)

2) I am interested in the XviD options which have NOT been added to 
MPlayer's manual yet, because they have been added to XviD newly. XviD is 
"too new". E.g. the cartoon/anime filter function which I am looking for 
since I changed from Win32/VirtualDub/AviSynth to Linux.

But nether the less, thanks for answering :) Hope I could be help in 
return in some way!

Still, where can I find "all" the supported options of XviD 1.0.0 beta?
