Ok... video player advice?

[Saurdaukar]

Im not up on video players these days... dunno when MPEG2's and MPEG4's came out... dunno WTF an ASF file is... dunno WTF a Codec is... Im finding that I am needed like 8 different players to run some of these files - some with sound... some without... etc.  

Can someone recommend a good, free player that will play just about everything?  Ive just about had it.

Thanks.

windows media player plays em all once updated

depends really.....mostly on the format of the movie(files).

Windows Media player 9 is cool.....just 3 things too add and you'll be ok....

1- SLD Codec pack....excellent package...only need this 1

2- AC3filters.....for most sounds....excellent pack

last but not least....get DivX player 5.0.....this one is really a special player for a special format....you may or may not need it...again it depends on your file(movie) format.


to get em....just google the name ex: SLD codecs.....

hope this helps.....there are a few others that I know about but this should do what you need...
