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  sec-
     ons (fps) at full speed.
