VLC is greet. almost as great as lightalloy
1.0.3 is the latest version, out on 2009-10-31

The Version is Wrong I believe, I think it should be 1.0.2
Also works well to play youtube videos in a compact always on top window, giving you a picture in picture video:
1) Media -> Open network...
2) Video -> Always on top
3) Tools -> Minimal View
(Keys to pause/play and seek forwards/backwards work.)
One of the cool features of VLC is that it can amplify volume up to 400%, in addition to having an equalizer. Very useful when watching movies with a very soft soundtrack.
