A new version of the – in my opinion – best media player SMPlayer has been released and can be downloaded from the website of the developers at Sourceforge. SMPlayer is a Mplayer frontend that plays most video codecs out of the box which means that you do not have to install codecs to play the majority of video – and audio – formats. It does play for instance Apple Quicktime .mov videos without the need to install Quicktime at all.
SMPlayer is available for Windows and Linux in various languages including English and Spanish for instance. The download has a size of about 11 Megabytes which is not that much if you consider that you do not have to install additional codecs. All the usual features are supported as well including subtitle support, DVD / SVCD / VCD playback, audio track switching, video equalizers, fast forward, slow motion and lots of preferences.
It is for instance possible to use video playback without hardware acceleration to capture screenshots from the movie.

[...] Martin over at gHacks just turned us onto another powerful media player, SMPlayer. It’s a front-end for MPlayer, and comes in Linux and Windows flavors. There’s also support for a whole slew of languages. The best thing about SMPlayer is that it just works out of the box. You don’t need to install any additional codecs, and it will handle everything from Quicktime movies to Windows Media Video. Of course it has no problem with DivX, XviD, and other MPEG-1/2/4 varieties. It does not appear to support Real Media files. Is SMPlayer a VLC killer? It’s hard to say. But it does have a clean, simple interface that makes it pretty attractive if you find the bells and whistles of VLC a bit confusing.

I still prefer Media Player Classic as it does all of that but half the size
BSPlayer is king
I prefer K-Lite from http://www.codecguide.com/
Been using it for the past 4 years.
Martian you prefer SMPlayer even over VLC? I know you’ve reviewed VLC before so why is SMPlayer better?
there is a security problem with avi file index. REad more at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/95940 (german)
there has been postet a solution to fix that. Does SMP contain that issue as it is a frontend of MPC ?
greets
In response to Enigma:
Media Player Classic requires directshow codecs as well. With that factored in SMplayer is much smaller and supports nearly every format available. (I only have one video out of thousands that will not play for some unknown reason)
This is the best native linux player I’ve tried sofar. Media Player Classic W/ mega codec pack. Is best mediaplayer I’ve ever tried bar none. But this works okay for the most part.
Though I can’t yet play DVD’s from my DVD-RW drive. I still yet can’t do alot of things w/linux. I guess I’ll try a coupla’ others. And then clean up my drives.(The best stays and this one is on top sofar)
player working good and its easy to use
can play different formats of file
