Playing video files

[calinb]

I use mplayer. CLI version for videos (keyboard works well for control) and gmplayer GUI version for audio files so I have something on the screen (CLI commands still work, of course, which I usually prefer to the tiny buttons on the GUI player). I don't know what is the highest res I've ever played but I know 720p generally works well. The only OS I've tried that had trouble with mplayer was OpenSUSE. SUSE's default player worked the best for me. Handbrake works well in Mobian too, except scaling makes it hard to use--especially when using non-default settings. Someday I'll try to learn to use the CLI handbrake.
