Mplayer and Xine can both handle them.  I use Xine for DVDs since Xine
supports DVD menus and MPlayer does not.  I use MPlayer for all other
formats since it seems a little faster to me.

One other note, you will need to go to MPlayers home page and download
all the Win32 Codec packages.  Make a directory called /usr/lib/win32
and extract them there.  Xine and MPlayer will use them and will be able
to play any file format you throw at it.
