Thanks for the tips, I am going to have a look.

I think nobody here knows what Matrox does. And drivers are the things that run in the kernel, and plug-ins is something MPlayer does not use. Due to not having Flash I can't read much on the home page, so I'll just answer for all cases: 1) For Video input, it probably should just support V4L2 and MPlayer should work. Some fixes may be necessary in the stream/tvi_v4l2.c file. 2) For Video output it also would be best to support something existing (e.g. XVideo), but if you have to this kind of code goes into libvo/ (rudimentary documentation in DOCS/tech/libvo.txt) 3) If it does encoding/decoding, MPlayer is the wrong place, look at FFmpeg/libavcodec.
