Es gibt wieder eine neue pre-Version vom MPlayer, hat sich `ne Menge getan:
2003.12.09, Tuesday :: MPlayer 1.0pre3 second try
posted by Alex
A huge bug slipped into the release. Pre3 won't compile on big-endian machines (such as ppc, sparc and m68k).
Timeline:
2003.12.09 05:24 GMT: the bug was discovered
2003.12.09 09:15 GMT: committed the fix into CVS
2003.12.09 10:00 GMT: our FTP site contains the updated tarballs
Grab the traballs from the usual locations, only users of big-endian machines should update.

2003.12.09, Tuesday :: MPlayer 1.0pre3 "The Real Counter" released
posted by Gabucino
Well it's been a while, and we're back in business with a (guess what) new prerelease. Now with Windows Media Player skin support. Ok just joking. But the ChangeLog is still fucking long, actually just thinking about inserting it and writing all those HTML tags feels tiresome.
I'd like to emphasize our newest reverse engineered codec: RealVideo 2.0 (RV20), with B frames support! Time to move on to RV30.. 
SiS video card users are going to be very pleased with the new sis_vid Vidix driver! Check out the documentation! Oh, and by the way: the nvidia_vid driver also got hell a lot of bugfixing, doublebuffer support for Geforce2, etc etc...
No doubt many ppl will celebrate one of the new MEncoder features: the ability to encode the output audio stream with libavcodec!
Don't hold your breath for even another moment, ChangeLog falls upon thee from the heavens:
