VLC rulez in both linux and windoze.

It plays everything you throw at it, is small, clean, nice interface. Comes with free popcorn.

VLC but I use mplayer....
Even though I use mplayer most of the time, VLC just keeps coming through for me on certain occasions. And the fact that it's multi-platform allows me to recommend it to all of my friends/co-workers who haven't made the switch to Linux yet.

I first started using VLC with Windows a to watch DVDs. It was the only player that worked and it plays everything. Now I use Debian Sarge with VLC and iit's great!

VLC is my favourite. It just works, even if I don't have all of the right codecs.

Happy GNU Year!

Mplayer is the best, but Xine is a tough rival. =)

Use and voted for mplayer. Used to use xine and VLC is awesome. But mplayer-no gui is better.

But where is Codeine?

A nice and simple player, does what it's supposed to, play video. No crap like playlists and and trying to do other media formats which other applications are better suited for..

Mplayer/gmplayer is my favourite by a narrow margin, then Xine, closely followed by VLC. I can do things and play files in mplayer that cause xine and VLC to barf. Xine is tops for playing DVD's ,though.
