.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mplayer
is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non\-x86
-CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4,
-FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ files, supported by many native, XAnim, and
-Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV
-movies, too (without the avifile library).
-.P
-Another great feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers.
-It works with X11, XV, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use
-GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even
-without X11!) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI), too!
-.br
-Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.
-MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens
-DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+!

MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big
antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls.
European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean
fonts are supported along with 9 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip,
SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle and our own: MPsub). DVD subtitles
(SPU streams, VobSub and Closed Captions) are supported.

.B mencoder
(MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to
encode MPlayer-playable movies (see above) to other MPlayer-playable formats
-(see below). It encodes to DivX4 (1, 2 or 3 passes), XviD, codecs of libavcodec,
-PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. It also has stream copying abilities, a powerful plugin system
-(crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, add/remove noise, rgb/yuv conversion) and more.
