mplayer

mplayer is my multimedia player of choice.

• mplayer helper scripts

Playing Blu-Rays (unencrypted)

mplayer br:// -bluray-device /path/to/disc

Send audio through the SPDIF device to the audio receiver

mplayer movie.mkv -ao alsa:device=spdif -ac hwac3

For movies with the wrong aspect (PAL), that should be flat but show up in 4/3 try this:

mplayer airborne.vob -monitoraspect 1.00

That should straighten it out. :)

Also, sometimes mplayer dvd:// will play them correctly.
