[Discuss] Fedora MP4 Plugin

[John Abreau]

As others have said, both VLC and Mplayer handle most video media. I
remember
a few cases in the past where mplayer played something that vlc couldn't,
and
a few where vlc played something that mplayer couldn't, but both can
generally
play almost everything.

I personally prefer mplayer, because I can run it directly from the command
line,
whereas with vlc I find it ignores the filename argument on the command
line
and I'm forced to navigate to the file in the FileOpen dialog box.
