+MPlayer plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, 
+FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many 
+native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, 
+DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies, too (without the avifile library). 
+ 
+The required codecs are available from the MPlayer site, and we have a 
+SlackBuild script for them as well.  If you have already installed the
+codecs on your own, then make sure the CODECSDIR variable in the script
+is defined correctly (or pass the correct value on the command line when
+running the SlackBuild script).
+
+This script is written to install the default "Blue" theme for MPlayer, and
+it will print an error (but allow you to continue) if you don't have the
+theme tarball in the build directory.  You can obtain the Blue theme here:
+	http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/skins/Blue-1.7.tar.bz2
+If you want to install some other theme, the script is written to support
+that, but other themes have not been tested with it.  The best option for
+using additional themes/skins is to install them in $HOME/.mplayer by
+following the directions on the MPlayer homepage.
+
+You can speed-up decoding and encoding by passing RUNTIME_CPU=no to the build
+script.
+
+MPlayer supports DVD-Menu-Navigation; for it to work as expected, you will
+need the run the script with DVDNAV=yes and have the external libdvdnav
+package installed.  This will disable MPlayer's internal libdvdread and 
+rely on the libdvdread version installed by libdvdnav. Only with this option
+set will you be able to navigate through the menus.  Additionally, you need
+to either write "mouse-movements=yes" into your mplayer.conf or start mplayer
+as "mplayer dvdnav:// -mouse-movements"
