+\subsection{MPEG Player}
+The Mpeg Player is a video player plugin capable of playing back MPEG-1 and 
+MPEG-2 video streams with MPEG audio multiplexed into \fname{.mpg} files.
+
+To play a video file, you just select it in the Rockbox \setting{File Browser}.
+If your file does not have the \fname{.mpg} extension but is encoded in the
+supported format, you will need to use the \setting{Open With...} context menu
+option and choose \setting{mpegplayer}.

+\item[Set start time] A preview screen is presented consisting of a
+    thumbnail preview and a progress bar where the user can select a start time

+    of colours. (only available on Sansa e200, Sansa c200 and Gigabeat F/X)
+\item[Display 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 100~Hz 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.
+\item[Skip frames] (default: on) This option causes mpegplayer to attempt to
+    maintain realtime playback by skipping the display of frames -- but these
