The VLC Media Player does almost exactly what it claims to do. I have been using it for quite sometimes now and i feel that it is very good. Better than Windows Media player, in my opinion at least. It can play most of the media codecs and video formats there are , such as Flash, FLV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, and OGG. It also plays DVDs, VCDs, and CDs. VLC can also adjust colors of a video, can rotate crop, and add text as you are playing the video.
The advantages are that you can convert audio files from one format to another. You can choose Customizable Skins, smooth speed control for slower and faster playback, you can use it for either video or even audio files, VLC even supports Blue-ray and HD audio, how cool is that?!! Although they seem to claim that one can download more than 1 billion, I kind of have doubts about that. Besides no one will download one billion downloads. But over all it really is an excellent media player.
