There's a similar (but free on all OSes) program called UMplayer: http://www.umplayer.com/
UMplayer is an Mplayer based program that can play any media format, plus it has the uncommon addition of being able to search for & watch youtube videos directly from the player itself, no browsers or plugins required.

I could never understand why people try to charge for a windows version of a program, when they also give out the sourcecode for free. Anyone could potentially just grab the source & build a windows ver for themselves for free and/or make a windows build and then redistribute it for free.
