+Apply an MPlayer filter to the input video.
+
+This filter provides a wrapper around most of the filters of
+MPlayer/MEncoder.
+
+This wrapper is considered experimental. Some of the wrapped filters
+may not work properly and we may drop support for them, as they will
+be implemented natively into FFmpeg. Thus you should avoid
+depending on them when writing portable scripts.
+
+The filters accepts the parameters:
+@var{filter_name}[:=]@var{filter_params}
+
+@var{filter_name} is the name of a supported MPlayer filter,
+@var{filter_params} is a string containing the parameters accepted by
+the named filter.
+
+The list of the currently supported filters follows:
+@table @var
+@item 2xsai
+@item blackframe
+@item boxblur
+@item cropdetect
+@item decimate
+@item delogo
+@item denoise3d

+
+The parameter syntax and behavior for the listed filters are the same
+of the corresponding MPlayer filters. For detailed instructions check
+the "VIDEO FILTERS" section in the MPlayer manual.
+
+Some examples follow:
+@example
+# remove a logo by interpolating the surrounding pixels
+mp=delogo=200:200:80:20:1
+
+# adjust gamma, brightness, contrast
+mp=eq2=1.0:2:0.5
+
+# tweak hue and saturation
+mp=hue=100:-10
+@end example
