 Description: The Ultimate Movie Player 
- MPlayer is a movie player for Un*x. It plays most MPEG, AVI and ASF files,
- supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VCD, DVD and even
- DivX movies with MPlayer.
+ MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non-x86
+ CPUs, see the ports section). 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 VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, and DivX movies too (and you don't
+ need the avifile library at all!).
  .
- MPlayer supports a wide range of output drivers: X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL,
- SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, GGI, SDL . You can use SDL and thus all the SDL 
- drivers. Same goes for GGI.
- There are some low-level card-specific drivers (e.g. Matrox).  Most of the
- drivers support either software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy
- movies in full screen mode.
+ 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 has nice, big antialiased shaded subtitles (7 supported types!)
- with Hungarian, English, Cyrillic, Czech and Korean fonts, and OSD.
+ MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as
+ the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+.
+ .
+ And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (10 supported types)
+ with European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean
+ fonts, and the onscreen display (OSD)?
