Tested.
1:\> this version of DOS MPlayer behaves behaves identical to the previous one on my machine
2:\> I've never had any problem with SB16 emulation on my SB Live! 5.1 card with MPlayer
3:\> DOS port of MPlayer is much faster than Win port via HX-DOS extender
4:\> DOS port has few annoying bugs:
a) -fs parameter breaks the aspect ratio of video
b) I can't choose the output resolution - it is chosen automaticaly and sometimes it choose 640x400 which hasn't the standard 4:3 ratio so video is deformed
c) the image synchronisation with monitor is buggy. I don't know whether MPlayer tries to synchronize with monitor but does it wrong or if is unsynchronised. If is it the first possibility it would be good to add a option for disabling it.
5:\> We need some manual for dummies:
a) how to display subtitles in non english coding (east-europian, cyrillic)
b) how to play DVDs (BTW, Quickview can't play DVDs, so MPlayer is the only possibility)
