Re: Best player for Divx, AFS, AVI etc.
Perhaps you'll find handy that simple Makefile I use
to get and build CVS and stable sources of MPlayer.
http://elemag.virtualave.net/files/mplayer/Makefile
create a source dir for MPlayer and put it in inside,
then type:
make help
[it need some improvements/cleanups though, but works
for me;-] [and no, it is not grabbed from freebsd
ports collection ;-]
