Video player that buffers

I'm looking for a video player that buffers when i play videos via a lan connection. I'm getting annoyed by split second pauses when streaming stuff.

Pretty sure quicktime does this. There's a setting for how much buffer time you're willing to accept.

Still lovin' that sig. Just class.

This one's free, I've only heard of other people using it though but it is designed for streaming over a LAN:

I dont know if it will stream video that isnt being shared out by the videolan server though so it might not do the trick
