I would definetly go for mplayer. It currently supports mpeg, qt, mov,
avi, and uses some code from Winde, I believe, to play w32 codecs. I
have been using it for a while now and the gui seems pretty functional,
although I usually prefer using the keyboard. 

I also have DVD support working as well. Some things I like about it
are:

- Divx ;-) Support!
- Video rendering via Xv (super fast) or directfb:dga (fast)
- 16:9 scaling, so I can get highter resolution on my TV (s-video)

I have also tried Xine in the past and it seemed to work well for me.

I think ffmpeg might also allow you to play qt and mov files along with
moeg files but I really don't know what I am talking about.

You are using Qtopia on you ipaq right? I haven't actually tried playing
an mpeg with it - but I have noticed some sort of memory leak when
playing mp3s.
