Mplayer is the movie player of choice for many Unix and Linux desktops. It is open source, free, widely ported to different hardware and software platforms and capable of playing almost every video and audio format you can throw at it.
Now a friendly coder on the XDA Developer Forums has ported Mplayer to Windows Mobile versions 5 and 6.
This beta version already supports an array of file formats including MPEG, MP3, OGG, RealMedia and AVI making it a useful Swiss Army Knife for portable media.
It’s a little memory hungry and the user interface is a bit primitive at the moment, but enhancements have been promised and the open nature of the source code means that any bored developer could lend a hand.
