  It's not about the player, but about which codecs you have installed in
your system.
  You can get mostly used codecs for example here:

  As a player I would suggest Media Player 6. I do *not* recommend using
Media Player 7 because it's not only big and slow, but has horribly degraded
its usability compared to 6 (most keyboard shortcuts and mouse operations
are just gone).
  However, there are some MS codecs which come only with MP7, but which MP6
can use.

  In order to get full functionality I recommend this:

  - Install Media Player 6 (if not already installed).
  - Install Media Player 7 (it will not delete MP6).
  - Change all the associations of media files so that they will be opened
    with MP6 instead of MP7 (it's enough to just change the name of the
    executable; IIRC, wmplayer.exe -> mplayer2.exe).
  - Install most important codecs from the NIMO pack.

  This has worked just fine for me.
