I've used mplayer in FreeBSD and xine in Linux both with good results,
but for impressive video playback make sure you're using the SDL output
of the player you choose.  SDL = sexy;  And if you're really sadistic I
know mplayer can link against svgalib.  *mmmm* console video :-).  I
haven't been in a geeky enough mood to try that yet though.
