I updated the list adding chaplin, cpdvd, and cpvts.

I ran across pspvc http://pspvc.sourceforge.net a few weeks ago. It's patched ffmpeg sources with x264 support. AVC encoding and the titles actually work. And it's easy to compile and use. it's got a simple GTK2 gui.

For a video PLAYER - I would reccommend VLC ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ )

In testing with various formats (especially wmv) - I found xine and mplayer to both have problems with video/audio being out of sync. VLC played these flawlessly - and I did not have to install any other codecs.

Note however, that a 600 mhz machine (running Xubuntu) - the video playback would be jerky (mplayer/totem/xine - were smoother - yet the sync problem remained.)

more info is available at ubuntuforums.org

Just wanted to chime in here another vote for compiling your video software from source...

In my case, Kdenlive was woefully unstable from distro packages (actually, I suspect MLT was the culprit..) Once I acquired ffmpeg, MLT, MLT++ and finally Kdenlive sources and built it locally (with fre0ir plugin support I might add) things worked (mostly) beautifully

Thanks m0loch, nice to hear of other users systems besides the usual Microsoft ones.
