It does not have an official GUI yet, but the command line version is completely functional. You should check out the <ulink url="http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-cygwin/">MPlayer-cygwin</ulink> mailing list for help and latest information. Official Windows binaries can be found on the <ulink url="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html">download page</ulink>.

Add <option>-fs</option> for fullscreen mode. </para> <para> Best results are achieved with the native DirectX video output driver (<option>-vo directx</option>). Alternatives are OpenGL and SDL, but OpenGL performance varies greatly between systems and SDL is known to distort video or crash on some systems. If the image is distorted, try turning off hardware acceleration with <option>-vo directx:noaccel</option>. Download <ulink url="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/contrib/win32/dx7headers.tgz">DirectX 7 header files</ulink> to compile the DirectX video output driver. Furthermore you need to have DirectX 7 or later installed for the DirectX video output driver to work. </para> <para> <link linkend="vidix">VIDIX</link> now works under Windows as <option>-vo winvidix</option>, although it is still experimental and needs a bit of manual setup.

Open a console and type <screen>make install-dhahelperwin</screen> as Administrator. After that you will have to reboot. </para> <para> For best results <application>MPlayer</application> should use a colorspace that your video card supports in hardware. Unfortunately many Windows graphics drivers wrongly report some colorspaces as supported in hardware. To find out which, try <screen> mplayer -benchmark -nosound -frames 100 -vf format=<replaceable>colorspace</replaceable> <replaceable>movie</replaceable> </screen> where <replaceable>colorspace</replaceable> can be any colorspace printed by the <option>-vf format=fmt=help</option> option. If you find a colorspace your card handles particularly bad <option>-vf noformat=<replaceable>colorspace</replaceable></option> will keep it from being used. Add this to your config file to permanently keep it from being used. </para> <para>There are special codec packages for Windows available on our <ulink url="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html">download page</ulink> to allow playing formats for which there is no native support yet.

Try making them writable if you have problems. </para> <para> You can play VCDs by playing the <filename>.DAT</filename> or <filename>.MPG</filename> files that Windows exposes on VCDs. It works like this (adjust for the drive letter of your CD-ROM): <screen>mplayer <replaceable>d:/mpegav/avseq01.dat</replaceable></screen> Alternatively, you can play a VCD track directly by using: <screen>mplayer vcd://<replaceable><track></replaceable> -cdrom-device <replaceable>d:</replaceable> </screen> DVDs also work, adjust <option>-dvd-device</option> for the drive letter of your DVD-ROM: <screen> mplayer dvd://<replaceable><title></replaceable> -dvd-device <replaceable>d:</replaceable> </screen> The <application>Cygwin</application>/<application>MinGW</application> console is rather slow. Redirecting output or using the <option>-quiet</option> option has been reported to improve performance on some systems. Direct rendering (<option>-dr</option>) may also help. If playback is jerky, try <option>-autosync 100</option>. If some of these options help you, you may want to put them in your config file. </para> <note> <para> If you have a Pentium 4 and are experiencing a crash using the RealPlayer codecs, you may need to disable hyperthreading support. </para> </note> <!-- ********** --> <sect2 id="cygwin"> <title><application>Cygwin</application></title> <para> You need to run <application>Cygwin</application> 1.5.0 or later in order to compile <application>MPlayer</application>. </para> <para> DirectX header files need to be extracted to <filename class="directory">/usr/include/</filename> or <filename class="directory">/usr/local/include/</filename>. </para> <para> Instructions and files for making SDL run under <application>Cygwin</application> can be found on the <ulink url="http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cygwin/">libsdl site</ulink>. </para> </sect2> <!-- ********** --> <sect2 id="mingw"> <title><application>MinGW</application></title> <para> You need <application>MinGW</application> 3.1.0 or later and MSYS 1.0.9 or later.
