This sounds too good to be true, so here's a ton of questions

1) Does it work on v2006?

2) Can it play videos of any resolution?

3) Can it scale videos up(down?) to full screen?

4) What about codec compatibility? Is it the same as mplayer on other platforms where you just drop the codecs into /usr/local/lib/codecs/ and it will play just about anything that there's a codec for?

5) Including .MOV and .WMV?

6) And, for completeness (I'm paranoid about not getting enough info!): MPEG1, MPEG2, Xvid, Divx?

7) Not essential, but how about the Live.com RTSP support?

8) Does it handle VCD, SVCD and 16:9 movie files at full frame rate?

9) I'd like to stream videos from another machine - how would I go about that with mplayer? Can it be done over HTTP?

I know I could try this out myself, but I won't be able to for a few days and my mouth is salivating enough to float my keyboard. It was the movie capabilities that I thought let down the 770, but if mplayer does the job... well...

Many thanks for any answers you could give me
