34 It can play from many inputs, such as files, network streams, capture
35 devices, desktops, or DVD, SVCD, VCD, and audio CD. It can use most audio
36 and video codecs (MPEG 1/2/4, H264, VC-1, DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC,
37 etc.), and it can also convert to different formats and/or send streams
38 through the network.
