+Overview
+========
+
+This is a collection of scripts to make downloading and building mpv, ffmpeg
+and libass easier. ffmpeg and libass get special treatment, because they are
+essential, and distribution packages are often too old or too broken.
+
+Instructions
+============
+
+Checkout the build repo:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
+
+    cd mpv-build
+
+Get the ffmpeg, libass and mpv sources with the following command:
+
+    ./update
+
+(This is always needed before doing the first build after the initial checkout,
+and can be used later to update ffmpeg/libass/mpv later.)
+
+Build mpv and ffmpeg/libass with:
+
+    make clean                        # sometimes needed to build successfully
+
+    make
+
+Install mpv with:
+
+    sudo make install
+
+Or if you don't want debugging symbols (smaller binaries):
+
+    sudo make install-strip
+
+mpv doesn't need to be installed. The binary ./mpv/mpv can be used as-is. Note
+that libass and ffmpeg will be statically linked with mpv when using the
+provided scripts, and no ffmpeg or libass libraries are/need to be installed.
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
+
+- gcc, yasm, git
+- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, vdpau, GL, Xv, ...)
+- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
+- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
+- libjpeg
+- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
+- libx264 if you want to use encoding (you have to add --enable-libx264 to
+  scripts/ffmpeg-config, because ffmpeg doesn't autodetect this library)
+
+Note: most dependencies are optional and autodetected. If they're missing,
+these features will be disabled silently. This includes some dependencies
+which could be considered essential.
+
+On Debian or Ubuntu systems, you can use this command to get most of
+the required dependencies:
+
+    apt-get build-dep mplayer
+
+mpv has similar dependencies as mplayer, although there is some
+mismatch.
