yep. VLC will play most things - and if it won't, MPlayer X will.

I'll third VLC (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14738)!

As well as paying homage to that fine sig! :p

Chris, in agreement mode.

I haven't had much luck with VLC but it does support Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding, at least from M-Audio. The main version of VLC has been recently updated to 0.5.3 and M-Audio's version is still at 0.4.3.

Yes WMP for Mac sucks, but I put it on my computers because there are a few places that feed live vid, like music vids that only use it.
