Another thank-you-mail here.

It took me maybe an hour to read through the manpage and migrate my mplayer
settings, but mpv looks really great. Plus its install footprint is only 3
megs instead of 20 (including debug stuff).

I was virtually an mplayer-only-user ever since I switched to linux. I tried
mplayer2 long ago, but ditched it (I think due to the lack of mencoder).
Recently I had been using vlc for playback with complex subtitles in Japanese
anime series, but otherwise actually liked mplayer 1’s subtitle output, b/c
it allowed for subs to be shown in the black margins below the video in
fullscreen mode.
