Mplayer on UNIX and VLC on Windows
There is an old joke that Windows folks swear by VLC and UNIX folks swear by mplayer. What are these? Both play multimedia files - both audio and video. But the approach taken towards solving this problem is quite different. For programmers there is a whole world of difference between the two projects. VLC is a French project and Mplayer a Hungarian one. Both use FFMPEG backends - libavcodec library and friends to do the multimedia heavy lifting.
