Apart from windows media player, what program do you all use???

I've become disappointed with windows media player, used to have a couple other programs i used (think one came with my ATI video card) but can't find anything useful anymore

PowerDVD for DVDs

Nero Showtime for just about everything. WinAmp also works decently.

Nero Showtime I like a lot because it appears to channel audio and video through different paths than MediaPlayer. Sometimes MediaPlayer simply won't play a video, but showtime ALWAYS plays them (I have a ton of codecs installed).

VLC Media player works like a charm and you can use it to preview movies as you are downloading them
