Next, you want media player classic. Some retards people will tell you to use VLC, the best way to deal with this is to deal a cunning verbal blow to the person in question, however if you are unable to think of something quickly, you can safely resort to "your mother" and the matter will be solved.
While I wholehartedly agree with this man's suggestion, you may still want to get VLC because on rare occasions MPC cannot play a file while VLC can. For example, sometimes it chokes on partially extracted files from rars. Put simply: use MPC for everything it can play, VLC for everything it can't.

If you care about HD playback, which you probably don't, then you want CoreAVC.
But since you don't care, I'm not going to go through the labour of telling you how to acquire CoreAVC, and how to setup ffdshow to cater for it.
everyone else on the internet agrees with me, so google if you want to learn why, i need sleep
