The default media player changes from one distribution to the next depending on what packages are included with the distribution.
I personally like Mplayer and VLC, but others prefer different players.
MPlayer - The Movie Player
VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Playeroz

I tend to use VLC as well, although the default ones shipped by most distros are capable of playing most formats if you install the right codecs. In Fedfora if you want the codecs, setup the rpmfusion yum repository.
