For certain video/audio codecs combination, that is indeed true

Mplayer is generally better than the builtin player. What a shame that I have to convert videos though. Is there a utility that will convert the videos on the tablet itself? Having to tether off of the PC clearly diminishes the usefulness of the tablet.

The tablet doesn't have the horsepower to do any kind of useful video conversion. THat process is very CPU-intensive

mplayer rc2 should fare better with wmv and flv files, you can try it, but keep in mind it is experimental.

Uh, you're kidding, right? O_o MPlayer consistently plays way more stuff way better than the built-in media player. :\

Like bundyo says, for wmv, his mplayer rc2 is recommended.
And have you noticed wmv plays better with sound disabled?
(-ao null -nosound)

Umm, mplayer is not in any case mine 
That said - yes, i noticed in some occasions. Maybe decoding wma is taxing.
EDIT: Just replace the executable without deinstalling the current one (or rename it first to keep a backup):
