There are many good multimedia software available for Linux. Introducing MPlayer version 1.0 RC. An updated MPlayer with many additional features, more stabil and more intuitive. The MPlayer runs in most Linux distro mainly Ubuntu, opensuse, fedora, PCLinux OS and so on. Also, MPlayer runs on Windows and Mac OS.

Very fast movie player with support for almost all known and unknown multimedia formats. Most are supported natively, some with the support of binary codecs. It comes with many built-in audio and video filters that allow completely customizing video and audio. MPlayer also supports a lot of different audio and video output methods. Just to name a few: X11, Xv, SDL, OpenGL and more for video; ALSA, OSS, JACK, ESD,... for audio. For (re)encoding videos there is MPlayer's companion program, MEncoder.
