Hey Sid, try a program called Gspot. It tells you what format and codecs you would need to play that file by analizing it. I don't remember were I got it though. Just search for it on the net.

Thanks, but I'm not the one that needs it. I have no trouble playing any vid file at all. Was just trying to be helpful and suggest some places they could look for the codecs they need.

Hey Nic give this a shot:

Between this and jet audio I have yet to come across a format I can't play. Here's another option too:

Hope that works for you. BTW I really like your Avatar. It's pretty stimulating. ;) :D
