How to read this documentation</A></H1> - -<P>If you are a first-time installer: be sure to read everything from here to - the end of the Installation section, and follow the links you will find. If - you have any other questions, return to the Table of Contents and - search for the topic, read the <A HREF="faq.html">FAQ</A>, or try grepping - through the files.</P> - -<P>The main rule of this documentation: if it's not documented, it - <U>does not exist</U>. If I don't say you encode audio from TV tuner, you - can't. A healthy quantity of combining ability is welcomed, though. - Good luck. You'll need it :) And for another good advice, let me quote - Chris Phillips from the - <A HREF="http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/">mplayer-users</A> - mailing list:</P> - -<BLOCKQUOTE> - I said a while ago that there is such a difference between a newbie and - a dumbass. No matter what you actually know about a system (linux, cars, - girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective, - otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum - cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change - the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a - case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with - your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many - people seem to see the word "error" and then stop... few seem to actually - read the words on the OTHER side of the colon. -</BLOCKQUOTE> - - - -<H1><A NAME="introduction">1. Introduction</A></H1> - - -<P>MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and - <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see the <A HREF="#ports">ports section</A>). It plays most - MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, - FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and - Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B>, - <B>3ivx</B>, <B>RealMedia</B>, and <B>DivX</B> movies too (and you don't need - the avifile - library at all!). Another big 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 also use GGI and SDL (and this way all their - drivers) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon, - Mach64, Permedia3) too! Most - of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in - fullscreen. MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG - decoder boards, such as the <B><A HREF="video.html#dvb">DVB</A></B> and - <B><A HREF="video.html#dxr3">DXR3/Hollywood+</A></B>. And what about the nice big antialiased - shaded subtitles (<B>10 supported types</B>) with European/ISO 8859-1,2 - (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean fonts, and the onscreen - display (OSD)?</P> - -<P>The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), - and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous - windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and - you can temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <CODE>-idx</CODE> option, or - permanently with MEncoder, thus enabling seeking! - As you see, stability and quality are the most important things, - but the speed is also amazing.</P> - -<P>MEncoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, - designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies - (<B>AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET/PVA</B>) to other - MPlayer-playable formats (see below).
