VLC? www.videolan.org/vlc/
Windows Media Classic? www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm

I say SMPlayer, frontend of MPlayer. smplayer.sourceforge.net/
Two major reasons.
1. Playback speed, variable playback rate, by just pressing [ and ] . This is critical if you have backlog of videocast to watch. Basically saves about 33% of the time required to clear them. I’m using the discountinued tcpmp on my wm5 hp6965 to clear my podcast. Too many podcast as again.
2. Subtitle support, jump to next line in subtitle file. No more subtitle that are not synced.

Do try this opensource app out.
