How'd this get started?: Diego Biurrun: "Arpi was not at all satisfied with the movie players available at the
beginning of 2000 for Linux and decided to write his own."
What do you consider its most impressive features?
"It's extremely fast, it supports more different audio and video
formats than anything else, highly portable and has many many features
that make it highly flexible."
What has been the biggest success of the project thus far?
"Becoming the movie player with the best format support, speed and
largest feature set as well as the number one player for Unix."
