Seconded. I tend to use a combination of Media Player Classic (looks like the old Media player 6.x, nothing to do with MS!) and VLC. Both can play MPEG 2 video natively. p.s. Don't forget to pay the MPEG2 licence holder... VLC is actually a lot more than a media player. It can act as a server that can transcode from one video format to another in real time. So you can use a low power device (e.g. my P3 laptop with TV out) to play movies from your server it could never decode in real-time. That's the theory anyway.
