Description:
 SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for
MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos,
DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like
support for MPlayer filters and more. 

One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer:
it remembers the settings of all files you play.
So you start to watch a movie but you have to
leave... don't worry, when you open that movie
again it will resume at the same point you left
it, and with the same settings: audio track,
subtitles, volume...

Other additional interesting features: 

* Audio track switching. You can choose the audio
track you want to listen. Works with avi and mkv.
And of course with DVDs.
* Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse
wheel to go forward or backward in the video.
* Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the
brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma of
the video image.
* Multiple speed playback. You can play at 2X,
4X... and even in slow motion. 
* Filters. Several filters are available:
deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise... and even a
karaoke filter (voice removal).
* Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you
to sync audio and subtitles.
* Advanced options, such as selecting a demuxer or
video & audio codecs.
* Playlist. Allows you to enqueue several files to
be played one after each other. Autorepeat and
shuffle supported too. 
* Preferences dialog. You can easily configure
every option of SMPlayer by using a nice
preferences dialog.
* Translations: SMPlayer is fully translated into
Spanish and German.

SMPlayer is being developed in SuSE 9.2, using Qt
3.3.3, but it should be also possible to compile
it with Qt 4, as I'm compiling it on Windows with
Qt 4.2.2 opensource edition.
