!  DGA is short for Direct Graphics Access and is a mean for a program to
!  bypass the X-Server and directly modifying the framebuffer memory. 
   Technically spoken this happens by mapping the framebuffer memory into
!  the memory range of your process. This is just allowed by the kernel
   if you have superuser privileges. You can get these either by logging in 
!  as root or by setting the suid bit on the mplayer executable.
  
!  There are two versions of DGA: DGA1 is used by XFree 3.X.X and DGA2 was 
   introduced with XFree 4.0.1.
  
!  DGA1 just provides direct framebuffer access as described above. For 
   switching the resolution of the video signal you have to rely on the 
   XVidMode extension.

! supported by many native and win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VCD, DVD and even
  DivX movies too. The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of
  supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev,

    Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse.
    It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and
!   100% mpeg standard conformance.
  - MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:
    It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI
    player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader.
  - MPlayer v0.10:
!   The mpeg and avi player in a single binary!
  - MPlayer v0.11:
!   Added .asf file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding.
  - MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"
    The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development!

*** 50,60 ****
  As you see, I didn't write any codecs, just some players. Instead I spent
  a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files
! (both mpg and avi) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability.
! My player is rock solid playing damaged mpeg files (useful for some VCDs),
  and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous
  windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and
  you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking!
  As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me,
! speed has lower priority, but is still very important.
  
  What about the GUI?

  I'm not a GUI programmer. I hate GUIs, I like the pure black 80x25 console.
  So the player has only keyboard control from the controlling console/xterm now.
! But there is a GUI development for the player, coordinated by Pontscho/Fresh!
  It's still under development, but it will be merged and released real soon.
  BTW he needs some nice skins, if you are a good graphician, contact him!!!
