[MPlayer-users] Is MPlayer the right one? How to Install it without "root"

[thcuong]

1)I wanna build a video player on Linux, capable of playing at least 
MPEG 1, 2 formats.
Anyone here tell me which open-source player is the simplest (be it by 
Java or C/C++) available on Linux?.
Is MPlayer the right one?.

2) I want to install Mplayer on my machine, a client machine running 
Linux (I'm not the root user, and cannot install normally as if I'm on a 
stand-alone Linux machine and act like a root). How can I install MPlayer?


Thanks
