FLV Players
FLV (Flash Video) format has great potential, but IMHO lack of a free stand alone player by Macromedia is not doing any good for popularity of the format. Nevertheless, there are free stand alone FLV players.
Martijn de Visser's FLV Player is probably the best known (version 1.02 was released on May 3, 2004). Guy Watson, aka FlashGuru, also recently released a free Flash Video Player. We will definitely see FLV format around more and more - announced VP6 codec support is coming soon with 8ball, so it's a good idea to grab a free player now...
On a related note, Michael Jordan recently featured a Captionate enabled online player on his site. The player is an enhanced version of the Macromedia's Flash Video Kit player which supports displaying captions embedded by Captionate...

Worth a mention is also the FLV player for websites found at http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash+FLV+Player
I use Riva's FLV encoder to make my movie files into FLV, and then this FLV player to display the videos on my website. You can read more on the details how I do it here: http://www.waterswing.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=72E433A7-9655-54A5-A4D1291B2504B851

Here's a new FLVPlayer from Flashstreamworks:

It's not working for me :( But it's either a small bug with the player or an odd setting on my system.
