Yep. Same here. Man, I have not used mplayer in a very long time. But, it was the bee's knees.
I used to work for a company that was developing some video based products. And this other company in Vegas sold our bosses a "revolutionary video codec" and a player. We had to sign NDAs to use it.
I used it and observed that it worked like mplayer. Too much like it. 5 more minutes of investigation and the jig was up. Our execs who paid a lot of money to the Vegas company had an egg on their face.
It is shockingly easy to scam non-tech decisions makers in the tech field. They are too worried about being left behind. Smart ones will pull in a "good" engineer for evaluation. Dunning Kruger subjects will line up with their wallets out.
