- <li><a href="http://www.nvideo-tech.com/products.htm";

- This commercial Windows program tries to access MPlayer config
files on

GPL-compliant:

-<ul>
- <li><a href="http://os2.kiev.ua/en/wv.php";>WarpVision Player</a><br>
- This OS/2 media player is heavily based on MPlayer and a few

- Multimedia file conversion utility containing FFmpeg that in
