And:

* It doesn't have any subtitles support (whatsoever)
* the Xv extension implementation seems to be much more optimized..
* DivX playback on Xine seems the most smoothed one available on Linux (Yes, I
have tried mplayer, aviplay, and dozen others including the divx plug-in with
noatun)
* One of the best AC-3 playback on Linux (thanks to Keith from XFree team)

Also, the Xine project seems to be the fastest project development compared to
others (Xmovie just added now the full-screen, video-lan are still learning
about Xv so no code for it yet..

Ofcourse, most of those project wouldn't be exist without the first
mother-of-all-projects - Livid :)
