(kmplayer and sib are just some of the front ends to mplayer)

More variety the better really. Then I have more chance of finding an app that I want. =)

Anyways, so far, this vlc player for the N900 is much worse than mplayer for now. Videos play really choppy. But some others report that it's butter smooth? Why is that?
MPlayer only uses CPU for playback while VLC uses the GPU. VLC also has keyboard controls but they're weird (not what you would normally think of). Like I think P is pause.

I think so. But you can't do so from the GUI interface, you'll have to use the command-line (assuming you have a seperate subtitle file).
