+The next beta prerelease of 1.0. Test it or leave it.<br>
+<br>
+<b>NVidia</b> users are going to be pleased with our (rather
+<b>Sascha Sommer</b>'s) newest breakthrough: the
+<code>nvidia_vid</code> VIDIX driver. It is still in beta stage,
+but it is known to work on at least TNT2 and Geforce2.<br>
+<br>
+You may or may not need to first initialize your card with the
+closed-source binary (?) XFree86 NVidia drivers.<br>
+<br>
+If aye can give ye a hint: assuming you have an NVidia card, try
+playing a DIV3 (DivX 3.11) file with the following commandline:<br>
+<br>
+<pre><code>$ mplayer filename.avi -vc divxds -vo cvidix -vf format=uyvy</code></pre>
+<br>
+<b>!!SPOILER!!</b>: Yes, you'll experience REAL graphics video playing,
+on a REAL text console. Kinda neat, eh?<br>

+translate) Polish, Norwegian, Romanian, Dutch and Turkish
+documentation.<br>

- I think that including an unusable build of an application is even
- worse than not packaging it at all. It is not only valueless for the
- users (they will have to remove it and compile the source of the
- original version), but it gives the application a bad reputation,
- i.e. advertising it as a useless player being incapable of even
- playing a simple small file, or an unencrypted DVD (with AC3 sound)...
- Unfortunately most users won't notice the small comments in
- distribution specific files (like README.SuSE, or README.Debian) and
- will tell their friends, magazines (which occasionally write
- distro reviews) and post on portals/forums that it is a very
- bad, broken, unusable application.<br>
- <br>
- We keep receiving bug reports from users telling us MPlayer on SuSE
- is unable to play file XYZ but for example his friend can play the
- same file on Red Hat. It's boring to explain to them over and over
- again, that SuSE (and soon Debian) comes with a crippled MPlayer, and
- they have to completely delete the package, and compile it from the
- original source, if they want to play any files...<br>
- <br>
- Note, that they also patch MPlayer code to hell, resulting in new bugs
- and side-effects we are unable to reproduce (with the original source).
- They should send the patches to us, so we can review and apply the
- correct fixes and tell them about the problems with the rest.<br>
- <br>
- I (A'rpi) want to ask all of those distributions to consider
- dropping MPlayer packages completely instead of shipping unusable
- crippled files! Our motto: if you can't do it right, you better
- don't do it at all! Users can still download the sources and
- compile them at their own responsibilty. We do know the legal issues
- well, but since the whole multimedia industry is completely covered by
- various patents, it's <i>impossible</i> to create a decent
- <i>free</i> multimedia player without breaking most of these
- patents. I'm even considering patenting my A-V sync algorithms used

+ Anyway: a new release (0.91) is due in weeks.<br>
+ <br>
+ <b>News in the 'main' branch:</b><br>
+ <br>
+ The most important announcements:
+ <ul>
<li>MPlayer 'main' branch supports playing the
- <a href="http://www.matroska.org">Matroska</a>
- container format.</li>
+ <a href="http://www.matroska.org">Matroska</a>
+ container format.</li>
<li>beginning from May 11, MPlayer supports decoding of
- the opensource <b>Theora</b> video codec.</li>
- </ul>
- <br>
- In any case, just grab a CVS version of MPlayer for recent
- bugfixes, new features, and enhancements!</li>
- <li><b>MPlayer G2</b> - A'rpi has finally begun coding his next
- generation player: <i>MPlayer G2</i> (generation 2).
- According to A'rpi, it is going to be a player core,
- separate from any UI (user interface), with totally clean
- design.<br>
- <br>
- Currently it's not available in public CVS because
- it's so very alpha. Do not expect it to be released soon.<br>
- <br>
- So what's new about it? Well currently two features come
- to me, first is the totally synchronized MPEG playing
- (0.000 A-V sync difference), the other is the new OGG
- demuxer, which contains the functionality of the bloated,
- slow <i>libogg</i> in only a few kilobytes (yes, actually
- OGG is a very simple format, a non-object-oriented coder
- can make a much more optimized decoder than the original:)<br>
- <br>
- This new core - when completed - will open up brand new
- possibilities amongst media players. Get psyched! :)</li>
- <li><b>SVQ3</b> - an anonymous coder has recently introduced
- an opensource Sorenson 3 (SVQ3) decoder into
- <a href="http://ffmpeg.sf.net">ffmpeg</a>. The decoder
- is currently unoptimized, but it already outperforms the
- original binary DLL (which is a shame on Apple, but what
- did we expect?).<br>
- <br>
- The format itself turns out to be an early adaptation of the
- H.264 standard, just like M$ adapted MPEG4 into his
- MSMPEG4 (v1, v2, v3 = DivX) codecs.<br>
- <br>
- To use this decoder, you'll need a CVS ffmpeg, and a CVS
- MPlayer (the latter from the 'main' branch).<br>
- <br>
- (Footnote: the SlashDot article
- <i>"Xine Gets Native Sorenson3 Decoding"</i> is
- misleading, as the decoder is in ffmpeg, so every
- project using ffmpeg can add support for it in no time - for
- example AFAIK MPlayer already supported it 1 day earlier).
- BTW, xine uses its own copy of the ffmpeg tree, because
- they don't trust the original.. You can see the
- consequences in the next paragraph:<br>
- <br>
- Anyway lately an intentional (possibly forgot) tidbit was
- found in xine's own copy of the ffmpeg tree (why, oh why),
- which <b>disabled</b> the usage of
- MMX/SSE/Altivec/etc-enabled functionality in ffmpeg codecs
- for quite some time :))) Have a nice time using xine! :)<br>
- <br>
- <b>UPDATE:</b> I stand corrected, the bug above wasn't
- present in the public CVS, but only in a developer's own CVS
- checkout. Users weren't hindered.</li>
- <li><b>VP3</b> - Mike Melanson has recently started to code his
- own, opensource VP3 decoder (into ffmpeg of course).
- It's currently in very alpha stage, but shows nice progress.</li>
- <li><b>Indeo 3.1</b> - this decoder was also created by the
- SVQ3 guy. MPlayer supports it - as usual, use CVS version
- of ffmpeg and MPlayer ('main' branch).<br>

-<li><b>new stream selection code</b> - many people had problems with (mostly
