MPlayer is a free and open source media player.

MPlayer supports a wide variety of media formats[3] and can also save all streamed content to a file.

A companion program, MEncoder, can take an input stream or file and transcode it into several different output formats, optionally applying various transforms along the way.

MPlayer is a command line application which has different optional GUI front-ends for each of its supported operating systems. Commonly used GUIs are gMplayer written in GTK+. Cross-platform GUIs are also available, like Smplayer. Several other GUI front-ends are also available for each platform.
