-vop shouldn't be used anymore.  It is deprecated in favor of -vf.

Actually Freevo 2.0 shouldn't be using bmovl at all. :)  Eventually it
won't be.  All this stuff will change soonish.

This isn't right, because scale/expand appear _after_ bmovl.  It defeats
the purpose of doing software scaling.  In fact, the command line that
Freevo was originally using looks right to me.  That it messes up your
screen means there's a bug somewhere else, and shuffling around the
filter order just hides it.  Without knowing quite how what "messed up"
looks like in this case, I don't know where the blame goes. :)

Of course, ultimately Freevo 2.0 won't be using bmovl.  It probably
makes sense to just remove bmovl now.  Dischi?

Cheers,
Jason.
