The cross-platform MPlayer experience is a bit more complicated than VLC.
VLC provides a pretty seamless cross-platform experience and is by default built-in with everything needed for playback.
The disadvantage of VLC is that because it's one big blob whenever there is a codec update and the media that you are trying to play with it was encoded with the newer codec you have to wait for the player to be updated if it runs into trouble and you may miss out on some advance features of it as well (such as DivX 6 videos with menus and such)
