SMPlayer

When I got my new laptop last week my dad told me about a new media player that came out while I was in boot camp. This player is called SMPlayer and uses MPlayer as an engine so it can play most video formats without the user needing to download all of those annoying external codec's. The coolest part about the player is that it's able to remember the settings for each file it plays, so if you stop watching a video in the middle and close out then open it back up later SMPlayer will start you off right where you stopped. SMPlayer is light, easy to use, and customizable.
