If you think that any features are missing from the page, please edit it. While we are on the subject, I don't do much video stuff. There are several links from http://userbase.kde.org/Applications/Multimedia that are related to mplayer. If you (or anyone else) would be willing to contribute to those pages I'd be delighted. You don't even have to learn the syntax if you don't want to. I'm always willing to accept text and screenshots by email for inclusion in userbase.
