A freeware CROSS PLATFORM video player that plays everything
...well, ALMOST everything- it doesn't handle Real media, and a couple of the more esoteric codecs. But I thought I'd post this to bring an amazing FREE streaming-enabled program to your attention, as a lot of people have had problems recently with such sites as CanOFun and others.

VLC Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

Note for Windoze users: A freeware Real media player can be found at: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

2. On Linux...
It does play Real content, if you install the Helix RealPlayer codecs.
