I've been using GOM Player. It plays everything VLC does, and it looks a lot nicer, both its default skin and the many nice ones that can be downloaded from the website. The image quality is also very nice. I watch all my movies and tv shows on it at fullscreen and they look great.
The developers of VLC should really consider de-uglying their app; I think more people might try it. This may seem like a trivial or superficial consideration, but the way an application looks really does make a difference to most users. I installed VLC on my mom's computer about a year ago so that she could play some videos that WMP wouldn't play, and the first thing she commented on was VLC's lackluster appearance in comparison to the admittedly very pretty (but very crappy) Windows Media Player 11. I installed GOM player for her a few weeks ago and she hasn't stopped using it since. Link: http://www.gomlab.com/eng/
