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,
|
|
VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, and some
|
|
RealMedia files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs.
|
|
You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, FLI, and even DivX 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, but
|
|
you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL), VESA (on every VESA
|
|
compatible card, even without X!), and some lowlevel card-specific
|
|
drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon) 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 DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+ ! And what about the nice big
|
|
antialiased shaded subtitles (9 supported types!!!) with european/ISO
|
|
8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and
|
|
OSD?
|
|
|
|
MPlayer might fail due to lack of shared memory, eg when using gui mode under
|
|
KDE. You can use config to change the shared memory limits without needing to
|
|
recompile the kernel, e.g., "config -e -o bsd2 bsd". On i386 it should be
|
|
sufficient to add 8 to shmseg and 2048 to shmmaxpgs.
