Even better than VLC (which is indeed excellent) is the OSX version of MPlayer. Enjoy.

WHAT, and here I am all this time using that garbage WMP. Skipping, poor image quality, thanks for the heads up on these better apps.

That's awesome! I never knew VLC or Mplayer would do it. Just like Urbansory, I've been putting up with this crap for far too long!
Thanks
