mplayer

I agree, Mplayer (with all of the various codecs installed) has played every multimedia file I have ever thrown at it, even damaged files and formats that Windows Media Player didn't know what to do with. It has caused one of my formerly-Windows-diehard friends to go dual-booting.

One caveat, it is not easy to install, as you need to get several pieces and compile/install them in the right order. However, the atrpms archive does have some prebuilt binaries<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
