I've been using MPlayer and the MPlayer plug-in for Firefox. Works pretty well and I've installed the w32codecs, so it plays about everything.
I do, occasionally, run into an avi file that will crash Gnome when trying to open it in MPlayer.
You can use the MPlayer command-line to "rip" Real streams. It works great, but does it in real time.
Real Player 10 for Linux finally installs and works well. ;-)
Great link, BTW!
MPlayer rocks. I use it for just about everything, too. Sometimes it doesn't handle Quicktime .mov files well, though. VLC usually takes care of those.
