"MPlayer is not your run-of-the mill video player. It's
a multi-platform codec-chewing monster truck of a video player for
the connoisseur of video players. It has options galore and has the
flexibility to play almost anything under the sun.
"Typically, I wouldn't recommend MPlayer for new Linux users any
more than I'd recommend Vim for folks who just want to edit a few
lines of text. It's extremely capable and can be tamed with one of
the many GUIs available (MPlayer, that is), but it's got quite a
bit of complexity and can be less than user-friendly at times. But
for those who are willing to roll up their sleeves and dig in,
MPlayer makes a fine video player."
