I am interested in playing MPG,MPEG, AVI and WMV files. At present I am using Winamp which I am not very comfortable with. Can someone suggest an alternative ?? I do not want to use Window Media Player.

2. Any comments about the following ??

(a) VLC media player

(b) Google Video

(c) Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0 from free-codecs.com

I believe Google is a modified VLC player

MPC is ok, sure - I normally use ZooMPlayer or Nero Showtime - for AVIs, there's the DivX Player, of course

WinAMP has never made me 'uncomfortable' (heh) although RealPlayer has

VLC is by far, IMHO, the best. It will play all those formats by default, except Google Video, with no extra codec packs needed.
