VLC Media Player and Media Player Classic are superb DVD and
other format players.

I plug in a USB wireless keyboard for this function - useful
because the VGA output can be connected to many digital TVs.

WinAMP 2.81 is still a decent player, which handles MP3 and many
other formats.

The players mentioned above do so and much more.

Bearing in mind that DIVX and its ilk do not typically contain

excellent FF/FR functionality - some do not.

Firmware players rarely have such features.
