VLC works most of the time. That said some videos VLC can't seem to decode correctly - I never get VLC complaining about unsupported file formats, but I do get weird artifacts and glitched rendering when I try to play certain ones.

It's then that I usually try MPV or MPlayer. One of those will usually play the video correctly.
