I use mplayer.  It compiled easily with only a couple of easily sorted
dependencies and it works better than any other movie player I have used
(including gtv).

I just pinched the codecs from my winNT machine at work.  I can highly
recommend it.  I know it plays mpegs and avi files but I haven't tried the
other ones in your list.

Will.
