From 685bbb5734014ac6efece02d7df757fb4a942cbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Uoti Urpala Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:08:16 +0200 Subject: DOCS/xml/en: remove various outdated documentation The XML documentation was badly outdated, with various obsolete, useless and and sometimes actively harmful advice. Delete a lot of the obsolete stuff, without spending much effort to replace it for now. In the FAQ section I removed some questions completely; in other cases I only removed the answer if I thought the entry might be worth keeping but the answer would need to be updated. --- DOCS/xml/en/documentation.xml | 106 ++---------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 102 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS/xml/en/documentation.xml') diff --git a/DOCS/xml/en/documentation.xml b/DOCS/xml/en/documentation.xml index 8d4a5e38a4..2d6e16c4c2 100644 --- a/DOCS/xml/en/documentation.xml +++ b/DOCS/xml/en/documentation.xml @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ <application>MPlayer</application> - The Movie Player - + March 24, 2003 2000 @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ 2008 2009 2010 + 2011 MPlayer team @@ -45,116 +46,17 @@ 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.

Introduction - - -MPlayer is a movie player for Linux (runs on -many other Unices, and non-x86 CPUs, see ). -It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, -NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA, Matroska files, supported by -many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch -Video CD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, Sorenson, Theora, -and MPEG-4 (DivX) movies, too. Another big -feature of MPlayer is the wide range of -supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, -fbdev, AAlib, libcaca, DirectFB, but you can use GGI and SDL (and this way all -their drivers) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and -Radeon, Mach64, Permedia3) too! 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 DVB and -DXR3/Hollywood+. And what about the nice big -antialiased shaded subtitles (14 supported types) -with European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean -fonts, and the onscreen display (OSD)? - - +OUTDATED CONTENT REMOVED -The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), -and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous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 option, or -permanently with MEncoder, thus enabling -seeking!
