MPlayer is a free and open source media player. We can use Mplayer on Nokia N900 to play extra video formats which is unsupported by N900 default. The Nokia N900 has support H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263, avi, xvid. But you can not play all videos on N900. To play extra video formats  you have to download Mplayer from Applications.

Mplayer Provides the best playback performance for mpeg4/divx/xvid videos. The N900 has the  capability of playing most non HD videos without any stutters or a loss of audio sync. Mplayer is basically command line player so if you don’t know how to use it with commands then here is the solution for your problem.It’s simple to use Mplayer with one of many available frontends like SiB.

How to ::

1. Download Mplayer from Multimedia Section and Install it.
