I recommend Xine.  It plays everything.  I haven't found something yet
that it cannot handle, I use it in MythVideo for my Divx's and I use it
for my MythDVD module for dvds.  It has very good support for menus.

The only thing with Xine is that you need to use the mouse pointer to
select the menus.  If anyone knows how to change that I'd love to hear the
solution?
