What is xine?
xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available – and some of the most uncommon formats, too.

2009-11-20: Upcoming features
VDPAU and BluRay -
For those of you who regularly taint your kernels, VDPAU support has been merged into xine-lib. It's still a bit experimental, so it's in a new (and temporary) 1.2 tree; it'll go into the main 1.2 tree in due course.
We've also got some basic BluRay support going into the next release. It won't play discs as yet (and that probably won't land in 1.1), but it should be able to handle decrypted files.
