Yeah. Actually, though, what I'd like to do is write up a full
description of how and why one would use -vop halfpack, and perhaps
some other filters I understand, to be included in the manual.
Nowadays mplayer has lots of useful filters but absolutely no info on
how to use them. Both sab and smartblur look particularly interesting,
but the parameters aren't documented well and there's no info on the
principles behind them. Perhaps I could start writing something like
this in DOCS/tech and then you or someone else could HTML-ize it and
make it part of the manual?

Oh, and I'll also put the new halfpack option in the man page. :)
