VLC media player is a highly portable
multimedia player for various audio and video formats as well as DVDs,
VCDs, and various streaming protocols without external codec or program.
It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
VLC can play:
If you don't have VLC, aka the VideoLAN Player, installed on your system, the chances are you don't watch a whole lot of video. VLC has millions of users and supports virtually every type of video found on the Web, as well as audio. It's also mature, stable, cross-platform, and provides a lot of features not found in Windows Media Player or the Quicktime player.

VLC is my default player, simply because I never get a message saying
that a codec isn't supported. That includes playing commercial DVD
movies. Indeed, the only type of movie that VLC doesn't support is
commercial Blu-ray discs because of the copy protection involved. It
does, however, fully support the .mkv files commonly rendered from
these.
There are boatloads of controls, tweaks, and effects to be found in VLC.
Brightness, contrast, saturation, playback speed, audio lag
compensation, a spatializer, EQ, blur, motion blur, color removal,
lighting… I could go on. The latest version, 2.0.3, also has the ability
to boost volume up to 200% of normal. Make sure you adjust the volume in
the preferences dialog to start at normal or your preferred percentage.
The volume boost causes distortion and will wake the neighbors.
