| I would try using VLC Media. That works well with most. GOM Player is another suggestion. Good luck! |

You could also try getting the right codecs for the file. http://cccp-project.net/
and use any players you like. I'm not a big fan of vlc even tho it does play majority of files. Just don't like the interface on it |

| VLC will play anything, but doesn't render some codecs properly. Zoom Player is slightly more bloated, but works better overall. |

| KMPlayer. By far the best I've used, and I've gone through everything everyone above me has suggested. |

Seconded. You may think you've died and gone to heaven when you first discover VLC, but KMPlayer is simply in a class of its own, the best of the best. I've stumbled across some rare filetypes which VLC will NOT play--KMP does, though. Also, VLC will get upset if you pause it too long; KMPlayer can sit on pause all day and pick right back up again. It's both more robust, in every way, and I think esthetically more pleasing, with a really sleek, sophisticated appearance. Better than GOM as well. |
