mplayer2 is an advanced general-purpose video player. A fork of the original MPlayer project, it contains significant further development and supports a number of features not available in other Unix players.
Improvements over MPlayer
Better pause handling
In MPlayer executing any commands forced the player to unpause. This is no longer the case; in MPlayer2 you can change settings, seek, or run other commands while paused.
Better Matroska support
Easy to use multithreading support
Much better support for VDPAU functionality on NVIDIA cards
Support for precise seeks
It's now possible to seek to any frame in the video; seeks are no longer necessarily limited to keyframes.
Support for gettext-based translations
