Package mplayer-gui: Information

MPlayer is a movie and animation player that supports a wide range of
file formats, including AVI, MPEG, and Quicktime. It has many
MMX/SSE/3DNow! etc. optimized native audio and video codecs, but allows
using XAnim's and RealPlayer's binary codec plugins, and Win32 codec
DLLs. It has basic VCD/DVD playback functionality, including DVD
subtitles, but supports many text-based subtitle formats too.
For video and audio output, nearly every existing interface is
supported including some low-level card-specific drivers (for Matrox,
Nvidia, 3Dfx and Radeon, Mach64, Permedia3), hardware AC3 decoding and
few hardware MPEG decoding boards such as DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+.
It also supports video grabbing from V4L devices.
This package provides GUI version of the MPlayer. A console-only
version with trimmed down dependencies is also available as mplayer.
