I use seperate video/audio players, as I have different needs for both. I use Windows Media player for most video, but have it set to "classic" mode with no froo-froo extras. If you have 2000/XP, you can still get at the old media player (version 6.4) by going to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe. It's much smaller than 7/8/9/10, and does everything you need for watching movies. Another option is downloading the freeware "Media Player Classic" which has more features than 6.4 but none of the bloat of 7/8/9/10, while maintaining the old interface.For music I use Winamp. Does everything I need, and is small enough. Other options are foobar2000, which many on this board like, and belive it has better audio quality. I usually just listen to MP3's, and the MAD plugin for Winamp blows away everything else I've heard. I use the "classic" skin and it's pretty quick, even on my old 500MHz PIII laptop. If 5 is too big for you, you can still dig up an older version, 2 is probably the best old version out there. Version 3 is bigger even than version 5, and there is no four (as 5 is a combo of 2's small size and 3's features, hence 5, get it? :)
Even more options:
Zinf audio player
VLC (Video Lan Client) video player
Real Alternative (Free clone of Real Player, minus bloat, hard to find as it's a quasi-illegal rip of the Real codecs)
Deli Player - Yet another small winamp-like audio player
