Download the K-Lite Codec Pack, here

The pack itself contains a host of utilities to play almost any file format. just use the one u like.the media player classic included is a very light and effective tool

Also u can get GSpot from www.doom9.org which tell you exact codec needed for any file u want to play...u just give file and it will show u codec and all info...
