 VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia 
player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, 
MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various 
streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in 
unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

(Finally, something I can help with<g>.  Both programs are 
recommended by etree.org.)
