Version history:
2011-01-30, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.0rc4 released View full changelog posted by the release team Yes, we can! MPlayer 1.0rc4 continues the tradition of long overdue, but better late than never releases. It has been tested thoroughly to work with the FFmpeg 0.6 branch. It will be useful to distros and other users relying on FFmpeg 0.6. To get the latest and greatest in features and bug fixes, Subversion HEAD should be a better fit. 1.0rc4 once again adds a slew of new binary codecs and leverages all the stuff added to FFmpeg. Notable additions are VP8 decoding, H.264 bug fixes and speedups, unencrypted Blu-ray support. Network streams can now be played through FFmpeg, there has been quite a bit of subtitle work and Ogg and Matroska demuxer defaults were switched to libavformat. The window position is now decided by the window manager. Our constant efforts to clean up the codebase continue as usual. A ton of compiler warnings disappeared and there have been refactorings all around. External library copies have been synchronized with upstream. The internal liba52 copy is gone and it is now possible to build against external libmpeg2 and libmpg123. MPlayer 1.0rc4 can be downloaded by HTTP or FTP. MD5SUM: f3abf9b59d0ac4fb2b63bc6bc33b8d02 SHA1SUM: 9f904ac332c93dadb061fe183c975b6518fbbc88 MPlayer 1.0rc4: "Yes we can" GUI: Changes towards removing the GUI * The GUI will no longer display any error or warning messages. * Special GUI slave commands (gui_*) were removed, along with the related key bindings. Decoders: * YUY2 Lossless Codec (YLC0) via binary DLL * Truemotion RT codec (TR20) via binary DLL * Nogantech Codec (NTN1 and NTN2) via binary DLL * add new FourCCs (m1v1, yuvs, VYUY, Y42B, V422, YUNV, UYNV, UYNY, uyv1, 2Vu1, P422, HDYC, IJLV, MVJP) TwoCCs (0xA106, 0x6c75, 0xAAC0, 0x55005354) to existing decoders * AMR now handled via OpenCORE decoder * updated Windows Media Screen Codec (MSS1, MSS2) via binary DLL * CoreAVC H.264 decoder via binary DLL (Windows only) * Kega Game video codec (KGV1) via binary DLL * SoftLab-NSK Forward MPEG-2 I-frames (SLIF) via binary DLL * JPEG 2000 support via OpenJPEG * internal liba52 copy removed * CineForm HD (CFHD) via binary DLL * VP8 en-/decoding through libvpx wrapper and native decoder in FFmpeg * support for external libmpeg2 added * hardware MPEG decoder priority lowered * external libmpg123 support Demuxers: * Mostly fixed timing issues with some H.264 (PAFF) samples * Matroska and Ogg demuxers switched to use libavformat by default. Report issues and use -demuxer ogg and -demuxer mkv to work around them. * support for TrueHD in Blu-ray streams in libmpdemux * more Blu-ray codec support with lavf * fix length in ASF/WMV files * support ISDB-Tb DVB streams Filters: * remove vf_yuy2, functionality is replaced by -vf format=yuv2 * remove vf_rgb2bgr, functionality is replaced by sws and vf_format Streaming: * Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray. Use it through: mplayer br:////path/to/disc Drivers: * -vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced no longer does its own interlaced RGB->YUV conversion. Use -vf scale=::1 to keep the same behavior and report if there are any issues with that. * X11: Window manager chooses Window position by default. Add geometry=50%:50% to your configuration to get the old behavior. * -vo md5sum md5 calculation changed so output matches FFmpeg's -f framemd5 * Support for more formats in OpenGL video output drivers (different YUV subsampling, 16 bit per component) * Selectable YUV to RGB conversion standard for -vo gl (-vo gl:colorspace=...:levelconv=...) * -vo gl now tries to use yuv=2 by default if possible * -vo gl:stereo=... for experimental stereo (3D) support * -vo matrixview finally added * add OS/2 KAI audio driver (-ao kai) Other: * -nosub option for disabling auto-selected subtitles * support for displaying subs in the terminal (FIXME) * support for subtitles with audio-only files * support for right-to-left languages with embedded subtitles * support for UTF-16 encoded external subtitles * support for 8 channel audio * sync dvd:// and dvdnav:// features * support for MPEG-4 ASP in VDPAU video output (non-B-frame only) * support for live and non-live DVB teletext with demuxer lavf * -name, -title and -use-filename-title options for MPlayer * support for stream handling via FFmpeg, in particular RTMP and RTSP (use e.g. ffmpeg://http://example.com/test) * experimental support for external libass, pass '-disable-ass-internal' to configure * better support for 16-bit-per-component formats and formats with alpha channel * better out-of-the-box support for compiling for ARM, IA64, MinGW32 and MinGW-w64, MinGW has ASLR enabled with recent enough binutils * libdvdcss synced with upstream Subversion snapshot MEncoder: * add -tsprog for demuxer lavf

I found this tool to be quite effective in my setup. I use MythTV to record programs and encode them to DVD complaint MPEG2's or XviD AVI's. I have been using it for more than a year consistantly without any problem. The previous poster's message that it takes hours to compile does not happen on my computer. On my computer it takes only 5-7 minutes to compile. I like this program.

A decent player IF you can compile it, and that's a huge IF! Too many oddball dependencies, and many of the optional features are not available even with the proper dependencies. Last time I compiled it successfully, was an older version under Fedora Core 2 and with the GUI. It took 9 hours straight. That is not a misprint, and not just the compile time either - half of it was debugging it's cryptic errors. This latest version doesn't seem to want to compile at all - I gave up after 3 hours on FC4 and settled on compiling the commandline-only version. By the way, the current version is not compatible at all under FC5, though I suppose it will eventually be supported - no commandline OR GUI version! On top of it all, the GUI interface is minimal at best and (at least the older version) doesn't seem to support playlists, or at least making multiple selections. It's one strong suit is that it works with many codecs - but, supposedly, so do other players. Personally, I consider MPlayer a last resort to be used only if you can't get one of the other players to work and if you MUST have multimedia capability on Linux.

MPlayer will play just about anything you throw at it -- but it takes a little getting used to, especially if you've never worked with a command line before. Once installed and set up (which entails getting the font right for subtitles and getting various playback options set in a prefs file) I found I could control playback of files and DVDs very precisely. It'll do exactly what you want -- once you get into the groove of it.

I was able to save a .rm file that I could get with any other tool. See [url]http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1421324#1421324[/url].
