Nice to see that here's DOS port of mplayer!
I tested this patched version on my system (C2D@2,4G, 1G RAM, nV 7600GS, DOS 6.22):
1) VESA videooutput image looks good but it is too slow, sometimes looks jumpy and visible screen redraw. I tried enable MTRR for LFB to write-combining (i don't know if mplayer do) but same result. Also in different resolutions. Other apps using VESA are pretty fast.

2) As noticed, the position messages need to be redirected to >nul to avoid its flickering but when I pressed forward key it appeared again even if it was redirected and when I release key it disappeared.

3) It displays something that cannot find home directory at beginning.

4) Sadly I don't have any soud output on my SB Live
(SB emulation DOS drivers doesn't longer work on new HW but it's another sad story how HW manufacturers are making craps).
It would be nice if someone will port MPXPLAY sound drivers to mplayer - they have working SB Live/Audigy 1,2 driver. But as I looked at it contains some assembly that would need to be rewritten to be able to compile it under DJGPP, coz MPXPLAY uses OpenWC.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
