NAME

       plaympeg - MPEG audio (MP3) and video (MPEG-1) player

SYNOPSIS

       plaympeg [options] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       plaympeg  is  an  MPEG  audio and video player that uses the SDL MPEG Player Library.  It can play back MPEG audio (layer 1, 2 and 3), MPEG
       video (MPEG-1) and MPEG system (audio and video combined) files. MPEG-2 video files (as found on DVDs) are not supported.

       The video player works best on a 16 bit color depth X11 display, it works on other color depths with reduced speed as well. You'll  need  a
       CPU with 300 MHz or more to play back an MPEG system stream with 25 frames per seconds (fps) at full speed.

       --help Show short usage information

       --noaudio
	      Don't play the audio stream (if available)

       --novideo
	      Don't play the video stream (if available)

       --fullscreen
	      Play the MPEG video stream in fullscreen mode (this requires root privileges or a setuid plaympeg binary)

       -2, --double
	      Play the MPEG video stream at double size

       -l, --loop
	      Play the stream (audio or video) over and over again

       -v N, --volume N
	      Set the volume of the audio stream to N% (N in the range of 0 to 100)
