dvdplayer is the default media player used for video playback on (almost) all other xbmc platforms.
While original designed for dvd playback, it has been extended to handle all video files.
omxplayer is a Pi specific replacement of dvdplayer that pushes much of the logic of dvdplayer to the GPU.
omxcodec is a Pi specific hardware accelerated video decoder that plugs into dvdplayer.
