FFmpeg and MPlayer (differences and similarities)

Hi. Congratulations for FFmpeg. It is an excellent software.

I have been thinking about installing or FFmpeg or MPlayer, but not both.

I apologize, but I do not follow neither FFmpeg nor MPlayer developing.

I think FFmpeg is similar to MPlayer. Is it correct?

Which of them (FFmpeg or MPlayer) should I install? Personally, I
prefer FFmpeg. I think FFmpeg is older than MPlayer, but I can not
sure. Where is the history of FFmpeg?
