Kaffeine. Period. Its the best media player I have ever used, for any platform.

totem is a bit too simple. it lacks most advanced features like postprocessing and deinterlacing.

But Kaffeine is the big daddy. its light, but its got every single feature I ever needed. It even has a built in file browser, so that memory is conserved a bit.

you said media player

Go for Mplayer. With w32codecs it plays everything- mov, wmv, etc. etc.

so does kaffeine and totem.
but kaffeine got most of the features right.

IF you want MPlayer, use the frontend called SMPlayer.

Kaffeine uses Xine.
MPlayer has better rendering on some videos, but performance varies. So I always have three media players - Kaffeine (damn, the kaffeine mplayer engine is loooong gone ), SMPlayer and VLC Media Player 0.9 (the QT4 edition nightlie builds)

I am a 1337 VLC user and I must say its performance is quite ordinary, unless you use a nightlie build of version 0.9 .

Its main issue is that it does not have a dll loader.
