Created attachment 425574 [details, diff] mplayer-1.2.1-vcd-yuv4mpeg-flags.diff This flags are needed to disable some unnecessary features. Check the patch. Maybe yuv4mpeg flag should be renamed, etc.
what is the gain in disabling these ?
Binary file is just ~10KB smaller, but I think user should be able to disable anything he wants. Maybe it's wrong opinion.

I tend to agree with that, but I also think having too many useflags does not help (mplayer has quite a bunch of them already and could probably gain a few dozens more): it becomes very hard to distinguish between what provides a real gain and what is almost irrelevant. anyway, I have nothing against it, but please submit a more complete patch, ideally a github pull request: - metadata.xml change with use descriptions is missing - ebuild updates for mplayer are first made to -9999 and then backported to releases; you can do all the changes in one commit, but yours is missing -9999 update
PR merged, thanks!
