Submitted by tomazkid
Presented by the Amigarulez and pegasos.org news-exchange. This is a summary of the most important newsduring April imho ;)Mplayer came in a new version, the improvements are:

- An AREXX port that is useful with new Daniel's Gui
-Support for WMV
-Many endianess bug fixed on many formats (like MOV and NSV)
- Full internet streaming
- A menu on video screen (only when is in window mode)
-The video driver now scale movies correctly (except for 16:9 one when in fullscreen..)
- Last CSV changes
-Compiled with newlib 4.0.2
Mplayer is found at Amigasoft homepage
and Daniel's GUI at OnyxSoft.

Also a new version of DvPlayer arrived, v0.54 .

Changes are
- Added direct DVD support
- Added automatic detection of CD/DVD drive (no need to specify device name/unit anymore)
- Added support for the new 64bit DOS functions so that files >2GB are now handled correctly
- Implemented the I/O plugin system and moved the DVD/VideoCD support to an external plugin
- Screen Blanker is now not allowed to activate while playing
- Implemented AppWindow support so files can be dragged onto DvPlayer's window
- Now the previous filename is remembered in the file requester when opening files
- Window is now opened on the frontmost screen (if it's public) instead of the Workbench screen so that if it's started from a different screen it will open there.

- Improved 6-Channel to Stereo audio conversion routines to avoid distortions which appeared with a few DVDs
- Fixed NOTRIPLEBUFFER option (was broken when subtitle support was added)
- Fixed sound distortions with interleaved AVI files
- Now ensures that only complete frames are sent to the video decoder for AVI files. This should fix the problems with partially downloaded AVI files.
- Fixed a bug in the subtitle code which caused memguard hits
- Fixed a serious bug in GUI loading (thanks to memguard)
- Fixed a nasty bug in the exit code which could cause random crashes
