[MPlayer | http://www.mplayerhq.hu/] is a MediaPlayer for Linux and other unix-like [OS]es. It also runs on MicrosoftWindows using [Cygwin].
[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 their MicrosoftWindows [DLL]s and the avifile library (obviously this is less than optimal so use [MPEG] 4 or H.263 for all your [DVD] rips <tt>;-)</tt>). [MPlayer] can play [MP3] and OggVorbis, so you can also play video with sound encoded with those CoDec~s. 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 can be fully controlled 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.
