MPlayer 1.0 released

[Chris Gransden]

MPlayer is a movie player for RISC OS.

Download from http://www.riscos.info/packages/AudioDetails.html#MPlayer

It is a direct build of the Linux sources using GCCSDK. See the mplayer
website http://www.mplayerhq.hu for further details.

There is not much RISC OS integration other than the fact it runs in a
window on the desktop. It uses the SDL library for the display.

It makes a good attempt at playing most MPEG, VOB, AVI and WMV formats,
plus many others. You can expect reasonable frame rates up to 480p
resolution on recent RISC OS hardware which currently includes Beagleboard
and Pandaboard based machines.

Also included is MEncoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder). This is a simple movie
encoder, designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies.

You may also need to install the following,
