The menu has the following entries.
When a video file is selected, the start Menu will be displayed, unless it is
disabled via the option "start menu" (see below). In the latter case the video
will start playing immediately - unless a resume point is found, in which case
the resume menu is presented.
Start Menu
\begin{description}
\item[Show FPS] This option displays (once a second - if your video is
full-screen this means it will get overwritten by the video and appear to
flash once per second) the average number of frames decoded per second,
the total number of frames skipped (see the Skip Frames option), the
current time (in 100Hz ticks) and the time the current frame is due to be
displayed.
\item[Limit FPS] With this option disabled, mpegplayer will display the video
as fast as it can. Useful for benchmarking.
\item[Skip frames] This option causes mpegplayer to attempt to maintain
realtime playback by skipping the display of frames - but these frames are
still decoded. Disabling this option can cause loss of A/V sync.
\item[Play from beginning] Resume information is discarded and the video plays
from the start.
\item[Resume time (min): x.x] Resume video playback at stored resume time x.x
(start of the video if no resume time is found).
\item[Set start time (min)] A preview screen is presented consisting of a
thumbnail preview and a progress bar where the user can select a start time
by 'seeking' through the video. The video playback is started by pressing
the select button.
\item[Quit mpegplayer] Exit the plugin.
\end{description}
Resume Menu
\begin{description}
\item[Yes (min): x.x] Resume video playback at stored resume time x.x.
\item[No] Play video from the beginning.
\end{description}

\item[Display Options] Opens "Display Options" submenu - see below.
\item[Start Menu] (default: on) Enable/disable the start menu.
\item[Clear all resumes: x] Discard all x resume points.
\item[Quit mpegplayer] Exit the plugin.
\end{description}

\item[Dithering] (default: off) Prevent banding effects in gradients by blending

\item[Show FPS] (default: off) This option displays (once a second - if your
video is full-screen this means it will get overwritten by the video and
appear to flash once per second) the average number of frames decoded per
second, the total number of frames skipped (see the Skip Frames option),
the current time (in 100Hz ticks) and the time the current frame is due to
be displayed.
\item[Limit FPS] (default: on) With this option disabled, mpegplayer will
display the video as fast as it can. Useful for benchmarking.
