-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I mplayer
-MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non-x86
-CPUs, see section 6). It plays most MPEG, AVI, MOV/QT and ASF/WMV files, supported by
-many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, and even
-DivX movies too (and you don't need the avifile library at all!).

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B mplayer
+is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non\-x86
+CPUs, see section 6). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI,
+RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ files, supported by many native, XAnim, and
+Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, 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 :
-X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, GGI, SDL (and all the drivers
-they support), 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.
+Another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers.
+It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use

+.br
+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+!
 
-Several subtitles types are supported (curently 9 !) and the fonts are
-rendered with nice big antialiased shaded fonts ! Of course there is support
-for european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean
-fonts.
-.LP
+Nice big antialiased shaded subtitles with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, 
+etc), cyrillic, korean fonts are supported (10 supported subtitle formats: MicroDVD, SubRip, 
+SubViewer, SAMI (smi), vplayer, RealMedia RT, ssa (Sub Station Alpha), AQT, VobSub, and our 
+own: MPsub).
