[MPlayer-users] MPLAYER GOING DOWNHILL ... i.e. Windows Vista playback problems

[Attila Kinali]

Hi,

I think you have a few missconceptions here.

First thing: You are not quoting how you should do.
Please read http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html
and follow the guidelines there. Reading your mails is
very confusing and time consuming.

MPlayer is not a product, never has been and never will be.
MPlayer is an open source project. This means it is developed
by people like you and me in their free time and only for the
fun of it.

This depends very much on your conception of the "modern world".
Not everyone has a blue-ray player at home or a home cinema
system attached to his PC.

There is no break in the development cycle. There cannot be any.
Because there was never a development cycle. MPlayer is
devloped ad hoc and when people feel like it. Because there isnt
a release for a year doesn't mean the project is dead at all.

What ever you meant, it doesnt get more clear if you repeat
it four times.

BTW: if you are developing a comercial product, please make
sure you understand and follow the rules set by the GPL.
