	  I have commited the new mpegpes/dvb driver of <a
	  href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/">MPlayer</a>.  It is
	  able to play any YV12 25fps video via the DVB card, for example
	  DivX/Mpeg4/MJpeg avi/asf and non-standard mpeg movies!  For
	  details, read DOCS/DVB in mplayer CVS.

<p>
	  
	  A few words about my near-future plans:
	  
	
</p>

<p>
	
	  <list>
		<li>audio playback through the DVB card (currently it uses soundcard)</li>
		<li>display OSD and subtitles using DVB card's OSD feature</li>
		<li>better (more fluent) playback of non-25fps movies</li>
		<li>more speed optimizations</li>
		<li>YUY2 support (for win32 codecs, like Indeo5 and WMV 7/8)</li>
		<li>realtime transcoding between mpeg2 &lt; - &gt; mpeg4 (partial decompression)</li>

	  </list>

	
</p>

<p>
	  I have created a new mailing list for the MPlayer and DVB topic.

	  I will post mplayer DVB-related announces there, and you can ask/discuss
	  your DVB-related mplayer problems there.
