mplayer without any front ends. |

mplayer <filename> |

the man page is very long but informative. mplayer also somes with the |
6 |
companion mencoder which has a good reputation in the transcoding |
7 |
stakes. |

xine and vlc also work well, and I have nothing against them except my |
10 |
familiarity with mplayer. I use vlc a lot on windows because it is not |
11 |
MS media player, and doesn't want to take over my machine. |

xine does do slightly better than mplayer with dvd because you get the |
14 |
full menu experience. |

16 |
everything else seems to be a front end to xine or mplayer or gstreamer, |
17 |
but as I can't get gstreamer to do anything on my system, and as the |
18 |
tools I have play all media i can throw at them anyway, I can't comment |
19 |
on the gstreamer stuff very well. |
