The videolan player does work with Linux... so there you go.

With that said, I use kaffeine/xine a lot. And I use the mplayerplug-in with firefox. If you have the w32codecs installed, it works well for me.
Maybe there is some formats that are not handled well, but I haven't found them. So there are options (I think).
