MPlayer is a media player. It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, ASF/WMA/WMV,
FLV, RM, QT/MOV/MP4, Ogg/OGM, MKV, VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg,
FILM and RoQ files. You can watch VCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5,
WMV, and even H.264 movies, too.

MPlayer supports a wide range of video output drivers. It works
with X11, Xv, OpenGL and optionally AAlib or SDL (and this way all
drivers of SDL). Most of them support software or hardware scaling,
so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.

Flavors:
aa: enables ascii art, requires graphics/aalib
jack: enables jack, requires audio/jack

Possible issues with using MPlayer on OpenBSD:

all arches:
The GUI is deprecated so we stripped it from the build. You can use
x11/gnome-mplayer or x11/smplayer instead.

Mencoder is not expected to do a good job of multiplexing into container
formats other than AVI or MPEG.

i386:
Win32 codecs were disabled in OpenBSD's build, as the open source codecs
are now of decent quality.

arm:
You may encounter slow video output. In this case you can disable
the X.Org screen rotation in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Depending on the
video you are playing you may want to pass the -framedrop or the
-hardframedrop option to mplayer.
