 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .B mplayer
-is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices and non\-x86
-CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, ASF/WMA/WMV, RM,
-QT/MOV/MP4, OGG/OGM, VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM and RoQ files,
-supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD,
-SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies, too (without the avifile
-library).

 Another great 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 also use GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every
-VESA compatible card, even without X11!), some low level card-specific drivers
-(for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI) and some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the
-Siemens DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+.

 Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in
 fullscreen.
 .PP
 MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big
 antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls.
-European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean
+European/\:ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean
 fonts are supported along with 9 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip,
 SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle and our own: MPsub) and DVD
 subtitles (SPU streams, VobSub and Closed Captions).

-(MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to

-(see below). It encodes to DivX4, XviD, one of the libavcodec codecs and
-PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio in 1, 2 or 3 passes. Furthermore it has stream copying
-abilities, a powerful plugin system (crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate,
-scale, noise, rgb/yuv conversion) and more.
