.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).
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 subtit
