For me WMP11 with Klite mega codec pack is best. You can also install DFX for WMP. But if you want something light and dont want to install any codec pack than use VLC player.

In Windows Video Lan is the best
in Linux also (according to me). it plays all formats. there are other players too but not as portable as vlc among different formats. :)

In Windows, use K-L Mega Codec Pack + Post Processing 200% in FFDSHOW video + Media Player Classic HTPC/MediaCenter Mod works the best.
In linux, Xine is the best.
Forget MPlayer.
VLC as a secondary Alternative in all OSes.
