To be exact: MPlayer - the _movie_ player for linux

it isn't media player, as it supports only video content (no audio-only
yet), and it's optimized for long, high-res movies, not for various
old small obsoleted codec .avi .mov etc files can be found on fun pages
and other sites. most of them are playable, but we has no time and
interest for improving support of those.

portability is important, but isn't maintained by core team.
anyway, patches are welcomed and applied, until they don't broke compilation
on linux.

dunno. someone should add libdvdread 0.9 support to mplayer very near soon.
btw it isn't mplayer-only problem, i got many mails from the linux-dvb list
too, about libdvdread incompatibility...
