 .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 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!). The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of
-supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib,
-fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL) 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. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded
-subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian,
-english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and OSD?

+enjoy movies in fullscreen.
+
+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
