just found this.. intresting..
MPlayer is another movie player that can play most MPEG, VOB,
AVI, VIVO, ASF/WMV and QT/MOV files supported by many native, XAnim
and Win32 DLL codecs. In addition to this you can watch VideoCD,
SVCD, DVD, 3ivx and even DivX movies. In this respect it
supports more formats than any of the other players reviewed
here.
In addition to all of these video formats, MPlayer also supports a
wide range of output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL,
SVGAlib, fbdev and AAlib, and you can use SDL and some low-level
card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and RADEON) as well. Most
of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy
movies in full screen. Lastly, MPlayer supports displaying through
some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the DVB and
DXR3/Hollywood+. Blimey that's a list and a half.
