uhm....xchat? mirc?
Thank you for evaluating mIRC. mIRC is shareware, which means that after you have evaluated mIRC for 30 days, you are required to register it if you wish to continue using it. The registration is a small, affordable, one time payment of US$20.00...

Cygwin MPlayer

This is a port to w32 of the infamous mplayer for linux. Command line, but the installer registers filetypes to your video files. So you can play your vidoe files in stead of piling up resources for fancy UIs you dont need anyway... Extremely easy navigation thru the movies (think arrows & page ups n downs :) and its search function is FAST), supports subtitles and it plays virtually every movie on this planet :)
