I don't really watch videos on my PC but I use mplayer/ffmpeg to rip ( legal ) videos to disk so I can watch them on my TV.
I own legal copies of ALL my videos. DON'T PIRATE!

mplayer - but I voted for miro this year instead of vlc...
mplayer FTW!
But I voted for miro coz it's pretty freakin' kewl (even though it's kind of a biotch to install on new slack systems right now w/sbopkg queues coz some of the source for the deps has moved around a bit).
But the best go to that you just know is gonna work every time is still VLC - Which is use almost as much as mplayer... maybe a bit more.
:hatsoff:

If you have mplayer, mencoder, ffmpeg and know how to use them, you don't have any need for anything else.
