mplayer and then vlc.

you missed RealPlayer 10. Yes, it is kinda Helix, but there is an official RealPlayer version that was made by the Helix people, and it includes more support for web browsers etc.

I use Kaffeine. It works with every several video formats that I frequently use.

Mplayer from the Livna RPM Repository

Well, since there isn't any SMPlayer, I'll have to vote for mplayer then.

You're confusing realplayer (non-open source) with mplayer!

mplayer has never let me down

vlc has always worked for me.

VLC baby!

I would say VLC and Mplayer...

Kaffeine is the KDE caffeine .

Kaffeine. I kinda like mplayer, but haven't used it in ages. Not as my main player anyway. I have it actually installed in a Windows machine. Not because I wanted to, but SimpleDivX users mplayer, so...

Anyway, how are things with mplayer today? Still disagreeing with DVD-makers that menu's should not exist? I remember having a lot of trouble with mplayer finding the right "track" to play a DVD-movie. Since most DVD's here are multi-lang/subtexted, I had a hard time using mplayer and started to use ogle for DVD-playback, so I just stopped using it all together and decided to use a player that does everything and does everything correctly in a standard manner...

mplayer is the best video tools.
add w32codes of course

mplayer is good, it has better navigation than xine. But, when I was playing my dvd, the dvd menu wouldn't come out and the sound was played 3 second before the video. When I ran on the terminal it said "YOUR CPU IS TOO SLOW TO PLAY DVD". Well, I use PIII 800 MHz with 256 MB RAM and 32 MB RIVA TNT2. But, I used kaffeine with xine-engine and my dvd played smoothly, even the menu appeared. so I choose kaffeine.

VLC just works
