>From my perspective, every line of new code is a bug that hasn't been filed yet. So why throw out code that has learned to survive in so many environments, with so many different codecs, languages, encodings, etc. Furthermore given that the code is now "1.0" perhaps it will have better stability ongoing? MLT which I posted about in follow-on, is a another interesing ffmpeg derivative that's also seen a lot of use: http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/Projects including OpenShot and Kdenlive . (Correction: previously, I may have implied MLT is qt-based -- I was referring to http://mltframework.org/BuildOnMe.git which is a template player based on MLT that can be built, portably, in qtcreator, with dependencies on mlt libraries). Re: mplayer -- doesn't it come with lots of proprietary codecs ( http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ ) -- seems pretty friendly to supporting them. Furthermore, doesn't mplayer also support hardware acceleration: http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=MPlayer_FAQ#Hardware_Acceleration_Patches Regarding codecs on MeeGo, http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo-Lem#Be_able_to_watch.2Fhear_common_internet_media_formats gives me: meegolem-11-~/qt> zypper se ffmpeg Loading repository data...
