Hey Maurice!

Here is even a better way to find out what codecs mplayer supports'

 $ mplayer -vc help

or -va for audio codecs.  For this particular discussion try this;

 $ mplayer -vc help | grep h26.

No H.265 which we already knew but now extra confirmation as well as a bunch I've never even heard of.

Life is good,
Maurice
