I admit, I rarely watch streamed video, but IMHO, a number of the video players you selected to compare are not worth using for anything worthwhile (Such as DivX, Real Media and Quicktime with Windows). Better choices would have been a few non-streaming video players such as media player classic HD, zoom player and KM Player. Are you aware that Divx isn't even used to encode free pirated videos (because of mediocre quality). These days almost all videos are encoded with XviD or x264. I found your evaluation disappointing.

I'm still going to keep them at the bottom for this category though because they make you go into a menu and then click vs. just being able to double click in and out of the fullscreen version.

That requirement has been gone for a long time, actually. When playing a movie, just go to the View menu and choose "Enter Full Screen" -- done, and done!
