 Have you tried the ports multimedia/mplayer or multimedia/vlc? I
 can't live without mplayer on my desktop and it usually "just
 works" on everything i try to play.

        I use mplayer too, but (as far as I know) the list of supported
codecs hasn't changed in several years.  That's mostly not a
problem, but there are certain file types (.wmvs I have been told
are handled correctly by Windows Media Player 10/11; this may be a
DRM thing) that completely do not play.

 If you want a fancy GUI, search in ports/multimedia for mplayer
 and you will find kde-mplayer, gnome-mplayer and friends.

        Mplayer has a gui (gmplayer) but it's pretty minimal.

Hello Robert / Erik,

Thanks a lot. MPlayer certainly seems to come with strong credentials and recommendation. I am starting the build straight away. Since I am a die-hard gnomer, I'll go for gnome-mplayer as the frontend.
