Hi,

take a look at the VideoLAN project, (http://www.videolan.org/). 

You'll find a vlc port in multimedia/vlc. But be aware that is has an
amazing amount of dependencies...

I use vlc to stream mpeg and most avi files without problems, but this
is just one solution to the problem. There might be other and even
better ones.
