on MicrosoftWindows using [Cygwin]

-MPlayer plays move movie
formats and of course mp3
. ogg too?
+MPlayer plays a huge number video
formats, many using OpenSource [CoDec]s included with MPlayer (such FFmpeg's libavcodec for [MPEG] 1, 2
and 4). Proprietary [CoDec]s such as RealPlayer !RealMovie can be played by using the Windows DLLs and the avifile library (obviously this is less than optimal so use MPEG 4 for all your DVD rips ;-)). MPlayer can play [MP3] and OggVorbis, so you can also play video with sound encoded with those codecs. It's suboptimal for [DVD]s as it does not support [DVD] menus
.

+MPlayer is
also quite flexible. It can output video to
[X11
], [XV
], [DGA
], [OpenGL
], [SVGAlib], [fbdev], [DirectFB], [GGI], [SDL] and [AAlib] (try that one if you are bored one day)
. MPlayer can be used with a normal
[GUI] but this GUI can be disabled completely which allows you to control it from a remote control, keyboard or joystick
. Joystick might seem a bit useless, but you could use a wireless gamepad or a [PlayStation2
] console remote
.
