No, I'm currently trying to decide how I should distribute the
patches for MPlayer. Right now, I have a few patches, and a
utility to apply them. These allow you to install mencoder,
dynamic mplayer binaries, &c. without having to download tens
of MB of packages. The question is: should I just distribute
what I have (with instructions for unpacking)? or should I make
a friendly shell script to make things easier? I don't really think
that I am competent enough with shell scripting to make a
good script.. Do you have any suggestions?

Anyway, I'll try to upload the fixed manpages first and then
worry about the patch package.

The DVD must think that your mplayer is French. I have no
idea why it would think that. It was compiled on an English
(well, American) PC and I didn't enable any international
options.. Odd.

No, I think you need '-slang es' for Espa
