MakeInstantPlayer is a tool for converting video files into self-running executables. This is very useful for distributing video clips, as the user doe NOT need any additional software for playback!
As MakeInstantPlayer uses the MPlayer engine for playback, it supports almost any video format in existence. The user interface is based on MPUI, a very lightweight MPlayer front-end by Martin Fiedler. Furthermore MakeInstantPlayert uses Nullsoft’s Scriptable Install System to pack everything into a single EXE file. In order to start playback simply double-click on the Instant Player file and enjoy the show!
Vista Warning
By default MPlayer uses the Overlay (DirectX) renderer for video output on Microsoft Windows. On Windows XP the Overlay renderer works flawlessly. But then came Windows Vista. And along with Vista came Aero. Aero isn’t compatible with the Overlay renderer, so using the Overlay renderer on Vista MAY cause problems! So if you intend to run your Instant Player on a Vista machine, it is recommended to NOT use the Overlay renderer. Problems can be avoided by using the OpenGL renderer (-vo gl) or the Direct3D renderer (-vo direct3d) instead. Please note that this information applies to the upcoming Windows 7 as well!
