it's better, since its videobasics, you can't copy videostreams and 
crop/resize/whatever do with it.

Thats why I answer to it. Who said that Mplayer is a player for everyone? I 
think the UI suggest it should be used by people they know what they do, so 
if it can help mplayer, why not to put all these things to the list, to get a 
bug fixed ? you don't need to do so, you can wait , till it is done by over, 
but this isn't helpful ...
