This player is almost perfect. Very simple and fast.
- Full screen mode has auto-hide navigation bar with just the right info and options.
- The progress bar stretches all the way across the screen.
- The playlist is on the right side and auto-hides (mplayer was always in the way)
- It doesn't have 10,000 unused options like most players.
Cons:
- Keyboard remapping doesn't include mouse wheel.
- The default and only mouse wheel function is resize window
- The window title doesn't always include 'FFShow' so I cannot modify the keys using autohotkey.

Very nice and easy to use. I have the K-Lite Mega Codec pack installed and am able to play just about any file I like with FFPlayer. It plays my AVCHD files from my new HD camcorder quickly and easily.
I'd like a little more understanding on some of the video rendering options (I have it set to VMR9 only... overlay renderer makes things look washed out... YUV rendering doesn't seem to do anything). How do I know if this program is taking advantage of my nvidia 8800GTX to decode and play back my HD files?

First I'd like to state that voting a program dead without even trying it is very rude behaviour in my opinion.
For your interest: .net is the new standard development language of windows vista, the new vista gui is completely .net based and vista will of cause ship with the .net framework. So you will get it automatically sooner or later. You can expect a lot of applications appearing in .net soon, which will run directly on vista and will also run on XP with the .net framework 3 installed.
From the developer point of view, .net offers a whole lot of advantages, it makes the applications cleaner and more robust, offers much more flexible ui, frees you from memory leaks and a whole bunch of security issues that all normal (c++) apps suffer. This benefits the developer and the enduser too.

FF Player exhibits a clean interface and displays many video formats; but not VOB files. This is a good beginning and will be worth another look as updates appear. .NET features can give applications a large increase in robustness.

Yup, agree with the NO to .net.
This requirement should be shown with the details of the tool.

I have tried to install ff player version 0.9. It required me to install microsoft .NET framework. I don't want to install that on my pc.

Very nice player with an easy to use and attractive user interface. Playlist works nicely. Also has advanced features in menus and more options than some players although it does not come close to the advanced features of KMplayer.
For video and audio that needs some tweaking to get it optimized I would use KMplayer but for average good quality video FF Player is a good choice.
I did have a few problems such as no audio in some quicktime files and one that it wouldn't play at all. So some players support a wider range of file types.
