Video Players

[Sushubh]

I like this player on Linux. Better than VLCPlayer IMO.

SMPlayer is a new multimedia player, it uses the award-winning MPlayer as engine, so it's able to play the most known video & audio formats without the need of external codecs.

Download
Windows: SMPlayer
Linux: SMPlayer

I prefer VLC player although I haven't yet tried smplayer so I'll post the link:

See VideoLAN - Free Software and Open Source video streaming solution for every OS!

And maybe this thread subject can be renamed to "Video" so all the links can be posted under one roof?
