+ <br><span class="poster">posted by the release team</span>
+</h2>
+
+<p>
+This was a triumph, I'm making a note here. HUGE SUCCESS. OK so its nothing
+spectacular, just another MPlayer release. Its been a long time,
+we thought we could get away with telling everyone to use SVN versions
+instead of making releases. Our cunning plan has failed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+MPlayer now supports most of the Bluray and HD-DVD codecs.
+You can rip Bluray movies on Linux using
+<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD">this guide</a>.
+A patch for AACS support and to store/use known keys is welcome.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We have switched to the lavf mov demuxer to avoid maintaining the
+duplicate mov/mp4 code. This breaks binary audio/video codecs with mov/mp4
+files. Please use -demuxer mov if you still require the binary decoders.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+NVidia has given MPlayer VDPAU support. It allows for hardware acceleration
+wtih newer NVidia video cards and H.264, VC-1, WMV3, and MPEG 1/2 codecs.
+A patch for PureVideo support on Windows would be welcome now.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There is no need to download binary codec packages if you already have an
+older version. The codec packs have not been updated. The newly added
+binary codecs can be found
+<a href="http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/drivers32/new/">HERE</a>.
