-[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, joystick or [line-based protocol | http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt]. Joystick might seem a bit useless, but you could use a wireless gamepad or a [PlayStation2] console remote.
