As already mentioned in the PDF thread:

Tested MPLAYER. Works. Fast.

Space for improvements:

- There is still some whining about "broken" VESA

- No info added, all EXE's look the same "MPLAYER 1.0RC2" - adding something like "DOS port compiled by Mik" followed by exact date&time would be cool

- It "steals" some seconds of the movie at the beginning, because monitor needs this time to recover from the mode switch shock Possible fix: add a delay after the mode switch (and possibly fill screen grey before), default to 1 s, control by an additional cmdline switch or env variable "MPDELAY=3" Also a small (0.5s) delay at the end (keeping last frame) would be nice

- Place all the diff's into 1 archive
