u can download vlc here -> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

yes vlc is the best...
any file it can play...
try it...

actually, i've been having problems w/ playing rmvb.format files... i used to use mplayer but after the new update to mplayer, it won't play the movies anymore. i even tried to reinstall the older version, but i don't remember which one it was, and can't fix it that way... it'll either crash, or only play the sound, or just loop the first couple of seconds and then crash... i also tried to play it w/ real player, but the subs don't come out in english... do i just need another codex and i don't know it? any suggestions?

I have an Asian movie site so I get this question all the time. I usually suggest downloading the K-Light Video Codecs It's a free download and will almost always correct the problem.

The best player so far: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/download...tr_lang=en
Choose the biggest pack, it has all the necessary codecs too. It plays practically everything and don't mess up the codecs in your comp.
