The mplayer2.org webpage says it's a fork, Uoti posts on the mplayer2 mailing lists. I'm pretty sure it's got nothing to do with mplayer.hu, the "official mplayer" (your use of "2" noted). |

- .mkv ordered chapters [1] |
| 33 |
- ffmpeg multithreading support |
| 34 |
- improved frame-dropping (??) |
| 35 |
|

The mplayer2 site also says improved support for nVidia VDPAU. |

[1] does regular mplayer not support .mkv chapters, or is this the ability to play in order chapters that are stored out of order in the file? |
