This began a year ago... I have tried lots of players under Linux
(<span class="application">mtv</span>, <span class="application">xmps</span>,
<span class="application">dvdview</span>, <span class="application">livid/oms</span>,
<span class="application">videolan</span>, <span class="application">xine</span>,
<span class="application">xanim</span>, <span class="application">avifile</span>,
<span class="application">xmmp</span>) but they all have some problem. Mostly with
special files or with audio/video sync. Most of them are unable to play both
MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed
problems too. So I've decided to write/modify one...

<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">mpg12play</span> v0.1-v0.3</strong></span>: Sep 22-25, 2000
</p><p>The first try, hacked together in a half hour! I've used libmpeg3
from <a href="http://www.heroinewarrior.com" target="_top">http://www.heroinewarrior.com</a> up to the version 0.3, but
there were image quality and speed problems with it.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">mpg12play</span> v0.5-v0.87</strong></span>: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
</p><p>MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a
great stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (A'rpi hates C++!!!)
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">mpg12play</span> v0.9-v0.95pre5</strong></span>: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
</p><p>MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman and
Michel Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> v0.3-v0.9</strong></span>: Nov 18-Dec 4, 2000
</p><p>It was a pack of two programs: mpg12play v0.95pre6 and my
new simple AVI player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> v0.10</strong></span>: Jan 1, 2001
</p><p>The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary!
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> v0.11pre series</strong></span>:
</p><p>Some new developers joined and since 0.11 the <span class="application">MPlayer</span>
project is a team-work! Added ASF file support, and OpenDivX
(see <a href="http://www.projectmayo.com" target="_top">http://www.projectmayo.com</a>) en/decoding.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> v0.17a "The IdegCounter"</strong></span> Apr 27, 2001
</p><p>The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy
development! Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added...
and of course old code was improved too, bugs removed etc.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.18 "The BugCounter"</strong></span> Jul 9, 2001
</p><p>2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF
support, more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to
audio), even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST!
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.50 "The Faszom(C)ounter"</strong></span> Oct 8, 2001
</p><p>Hmm. Release again. Tons of new features, beta GUI version,
bugs fixed, new vo and ao drivers, ported to many systems, including
opensource DivX codecs and much more. Try it!
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.60 "The RTFMCounter"</strong></span> Jan 3, 2002
</p><p>MOV/VIVO/RM/FLI/NUV fileformats support, native CRAM, Cinepak,
ADPCM codecs, and support for XAnim's binary codecs; DVD subtitles support,
first release of <span class="application">MEncoder</span>, TV grabbing, cache,
liba52, countless fixes.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.90pre10 "The BirthdayCounter"</strong></span> Nov 11, 2002
</p><p> Although this is not a release, I am going to mention it because it
came out 2 years after <span class="application">MPlayer</span> v0.01.
Happy birthday, <span class="application">MPlayer</span>!
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.90rc1 "The CodecCounter"</strong></span> Dec 7, 2002
</p><p>Again not a release, but after adding Sorenson 3 (QuickTime)
and Windows Media 9 support, <span class="application">MPlayer</span> is the
world's first movie player with support for all known video formats!
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.90 "The CounterCounter"</strong></span> Apr 6, 2003
</p><p>After more than 1 year, we finally concluded that the code was indeed
stable again, and ready to be published as a release. Unfortunately we
forgot even to increase the version number, and other annoying bugs went
in, so get ready for...
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 0.91</strong></span> Aug 13, 2003
</p><p>The above mentioned and lot of other bugs have been fixed.
This is the latest stable version.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="bold"><strong><span class="application">MPlayer</span> 1.0pre1 "Development on the beach"</strong></span> Sep 1, 2003
</p><p>Although this is not a stable release, I am going to mention
it because it is the first pre version of the 1.0 series of <span class="application">MPlayer</span>
and it is intended to help the <span class="emphasis"><em>big bug hunting party</em></span>.
This is a huge step forward!
</p></li><li><p>
