If you are a first-time installer: be sure to read everything from here to
|
|
the end of the Installation section, and follow the links you will find. If
|
|
you have any other questions, return to the <link linkend="toc">Table of
|
|
Contents</link> and search for the topic, read the <xref linkend="faq"/>,
|
|
or try grepping through the files. Most questions should be answered somewhere
|
|
here and the rest has probably already been asked on our
|
|
<link linkend="mailinglists">mailing lists</link>. Check the
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/htsearch">archives</ulink>, there
|

is a lot of valuable information to be found there.

<title>Introduction</title>

|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> is a movie player for Linux (runs on
|
|
many other Unices, and <emphasis role="bold">non-x86</emphasis> CPUs, see
|
|
<xref linkend="ports"/>). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV,
|
|
QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA, Matroska files, supported by
|
|
many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, Sorenson, Theora</emphasis>, and
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">DivX</emphasis> 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. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib,
|
|
fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use GGI and SDL (and this way all their
|
|
drivers) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and
|
|
Radeon, Mach64, Permedia3) too! Most of them supports software or hardware
|
|
scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> supports displaying through some
|
|
hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the <link linkend="dvb">DVB</link> and
|
|
<link linkend="dxr3">DXR3/Hollywood+</link>. And what about the nice big
|
|
antialiased shaded subtitles (<emphasis role="bold">10 supported types</emphasis>)
|
|
with European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean
|
|
fonts, and the onscreen display (OSD)?
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs),
|
|
and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous windows
|
|
media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and you can
|
|
temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <option>-idx</option> option, or
|
|
permanently with <application>MEncoder</application>, thus enabling
|
|
seeking! As you see, stability and quality are the most important things,
|
|
but the speed is also amazing.

<application>MEncoder</application> (<application>MPlayer's</application> Movie
|

Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to encode
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application>-playable movies
|
|
(<emphasis role="bold">AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET/PVA</emphasis>)
|
|
to other <application>MPlayer</application>-playable formats (see below). It
|
|
can encode with various codecs, like <emphasis role="bold">DivX4</emphasis>
|
|
(1 or 2 passes), <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem>,
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">PCM/MP3/VBR MP3</emphasis>
|
|
audio. Also has powerful plugin system for video manipulation.
