VLC Media Player is a very good media player, playing virtually every media file type known to man right out of the box.
One problem with VLC is that, well... its ugly. Very ugly in fact. There are skins you can download (here) and they do help, but a lot of the skins seem to make VLC glitchy for some reason. Without any mods, VLC runs very well and is pretty responsive.
The main reason I suggest using VLC is simply because of how many files it can play. I've even encountered files that were partially corrupt and wouldn't play on ANY other players, but VLC still plays them and can even repair some files (if VLC detects a corrupt avi, for instance, it will ask if you wish to repair it). It will also play DVD's without any additional codecs installed.
