As others have said, both VLC and Mplayer handle most video media. I remember a few cases in the past where mplayer played something that vlc couldn't, and a few where vlc played something that mplayer couldn't, but both can generally play almost everything.
I personally prefer mplayer, because I can run it directly from the command line, whereas with vlc I find it ignores the filename argument on the command line and I'm forced to navigate to the file in the FileOpen dialog box.
