<LI> VCD (Video CD) directly from CD-ROM or from CDRwin's .bin image file     
<LI> DVD, directly from your DVD disk, using optional libcss for decryption
<LI> MPEG 1/2 System Stream (PS/PES/VOB) and Elementary Stream (ES) file
     formats
<LI> RIFF AVI file format
<LI> ASF 1.0 file format
<LI> supports reading from file, stdin, DVD drive or network via HTTP
</UL></P>

<P>Note: about quicktime (.mov/.qt) and realmedia (.ra/.rm) support read the FAQ!</P>


<P><B><A NAME=2.1.2>2.1.2. Supported audio &amp; video codecs</A></B></P>

<P>See <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html">http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html</A> for the complete,
daily updated list!!!</P>

<P>The most important video codecs:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>MPEG1 (VCD) and MPEG2 (DVD) video
<LI>DivX, FFmpeg, OpenDivX and other MPEG4 variants
<LI>Windows Media Video 7 (WMV1) and Windows Media Video 8 used in .wmv files
<LI>Intel Indeo codecs (3.1,3.2,4.1,5.0)
<LI>MJPEG, ASV2 and other hardware formats
</UL></P>

<P>The most important audio codecs:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>MPEG layer 2, and layer 3 (MP3) audio (native code, with 3dnow optimization)
<LI>AC3 dolby audio (native code, with 3dnow optimization)
<LI>Voxware audio
<LI>alaw, msgsm, pcm and other simple old audio formats
<LI>Ogg Vorbis audio codec
</UL></P>

<P>If you have a codec not listed here, and not supported yet, just read <A
HREF="#2.1.4">section 2.1.4</A> to get info about how to help us adding support
for it!</P>

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0<BR>
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so<BR>
ldconfig<BR>
cp decore.h /usr/local/include/</CODE></P>


<P><B>MPlayer</B> autodetects if DivX4 is (properly) installed, just compile
as usual. If it doesn't detect it, you didn't install it exactly as above,
and/or has fucked up config (see last question of 5.1 section).</P>

(with all it's subdirectories) to <B>MPlayer</B>'s tree, so it will look
like this:</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>main/libavcodec</CODE></P>

<P>Symlinking is NOT enough, you have to copy it.</P>

<P>./configure detects if it can be built. At the moment it doesn't support
postprocessing, and is under optimization (it's faster than the DS/VfW DivX
codec).</P>

<P>This is the MP3 codec.
So, now we have all the info needed (fourcc, codec file, sample AVI), submit
your codec support request in mail, and upload these files to the FTP:</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/[codecname]/</CODE></P>


<P><B><A NAME=2.1.4.2>2.1.4.2. DirectShow codecs</A></B></P>

<P>DirectShow is the newer Video API, which is even worse than its predecessor.

<P>NOTE: dump that M$ shit.</P>


<P>So, now we have all the info needed (fourcc, GUID, codec file, sample AVI),
submit your codec support request in mail, and upload these files to the FTP:<BR>
ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/[codecname]/</P>
