HUGE SUCCESS. OK so its nothing +spectacular, just another MPlayer release. Its been a long time, +we thought we could get away with telling everyone to use SVN versions +instead of making releases. Our cunning plan has failed. +</p> + +<p> +MPlayer now supports most of the Bluray and HD-DVD codecs. +You can rip Bluray movies on Linux using +<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD";>this guide</a>. +A patch for AACS support and to store/use known keys is welcome. +</p> + +<p> +We have switched to the lavf mov demuxer to avoid maintaining the +duplicate mov/mp4 code. This breaks binary audio/video codecs with mov/mp4 +files. Please use -demuxer mov if you still require the binary decoders. +</p> + +<p> +NVidia has given MPlayer VDPAU support. It allows for hardware acceleration +wtih newer NVidia video cards and H.264, VC-1, WMV3, and MPEG 1/2 codecs. +A patch for PureVideo support on Windows would be welcome now. +</p> + +<p> +There is no need to download binary codec packages if you already have an +older version. The codec packs have not been updated. The newly added +binary codecs can be found +<a href="http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/drivers32/new/";>HERE</a>. +</p> + +<h3>MPlayer (1.0)<i>rc3: "StillAlive" March 1, 2009</i></h3> + +<h4>Decoders:</h4>
