59 many other Unices, and <emphasis role="bold">non-x86</emphasis> CPUs, see | |
60 <xref linkend="ports"/>). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, | |
10132 | 61 QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA, Matroska files, supported by |
9675 | 62 many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch |
10132 | 63 <emphasis role="bold">VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, Sorenson, Theora</emphasis>, and |
12343 | 64 <emphasis role="bold">DivX</emphasis> movies too. Another big feature of |
65 <application>MPlayer</application> is the wide range of | |
9675 | 66 supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, |

68 their drivers) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and |
9675 | 69 Radeon, Mach64, Permedia3) too! Most of them supports software or hardware |
70 scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. | |
71 <application>MPlayer</application> supports displaying through some | |
9683 | 72 hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the <link linkend="dvb">DVB</link> and |
73 <link linkend="dxr3">DXR3/Hollywood+</link>. And what about the nice big | |
12343 | 74 antialiased shaded subtitles (<emphasis role="bold">14 supported types</emphasis>) |
9683 | 75 with European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean |
76 fonts, and the onscreen display (OSD)? | |

80 The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), | |
81 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous windows | |
82 media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and you can | |
83 temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <option>-idx</option> option, or | |
84 permanently with <application>MEncoder</application>, thus enabling | |
85 seeking! As you see, stability and quality are the most important things, | |
86 but the speed is also amazing. | |
