Important notice

MPlayer CAN'T BE DISTRIBUTED IN BINARY FORM ! Due to the fact, that +EVERY optimization flag is determined during compile time.

An optimized, compiled MPlayer is very unlikely to work on another computer.
+An unoptimized, compiled MPlayer may work, but will be sluggish.

+ +

If you are using a self-made binary package, that's ok.
+If you are distributing a binary package, that's forbidden!
+If you have downloaded and using a binary package made by someone else, +then please inform us.
