65 <application>MPlayer</application> is a movie player for Linux (runs on | |
26955 | 66 many other Unices, and non-x86 CPUs, see <xref linkend="ports"/>). |
26958 | 67 It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, |
21521 | 68 NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA, Matroska files, supported by |
9675 | 69 many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch |
26958 | 70 Video CD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, Sorenson, Theora, |
71 and MPEG-4 (DivX) movies, too. Another big | |

26958 | 75 their drivers) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and |
