I also like PresentMovie
Features:
* Plays QuickTime compatible movies (.mov, .mpg, VCDs). (and many .avi's)
* Stretches movies to full-screen without having to go through the multiple steps required in QuickTime Pro.
* Supports multiple monitors.
* Allows the user to change the size of the movie, rate and volume level.
Tips & Tricks:
* Simply drag movies (or a folder containing movies) to the application icon and they're displayed immediately.
PresentMovie is shareware, and it costs just $15.00. Download it, try it out, and then register your copy. For personal, non-profit use, a simple "thank you" email is adequate!

Try VLC media player v. 0.5.3 despite the alphaware-like version number, it functions very well indeed. Excellent for viewing those .avi vid's that QT6.2 will not access

I tried MPlayer, works fine. But is CPU intensive. When trying to do anything outside of watching a clip the clip would pause. What's good about MPlayer is that it does play alot of different formats, where otherwise you would have to use a host of different programs to do the same files.
VLC will play AVI fles and most divx files too. It will also play a whole lot of other file types. Plus it does not pause to often while doing other things while watching a clip.
