It lacks a Help file, but The KMPlayer is one of the most powerful freeware video players I've seen. It includes a vast array of video- and audio-capturing options, as well as skins, a plethora of playback controls and tweaks, and broad DVD support. Check out what makes this an excellent competitor to the popular VLC Player.

Seth peers into the deep, dark corners of software so that you don't have to. He has yet to suffer a single nightmare about OS/2. You can follow him on Twitter.

Best media player out there. Supports all types of media and can be configured to the way you want.
I have been using KMPlayer for years and never looked back.

Yes. I use this too. It also has a nice design, it's skinnable, it's portable, and it lets you record audio and video. Plays 99% of media formats out there.
