If you already have quicktime, use that. Otherwise, download VLC player.

You need a video codec. That is a file that decodes the video for you. The easiest thing to do is play it with VLC, like already suggested. VLC has codec preinstalled.

It doesn't matter what player you have; if you don't have the codec; it's not going to play.

Go here. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

Download the codec pack; open the installer & hit next a bunch of times.

K-lite is pretty much the standard among all-inclusive codec packs. There are hundreds of codecs out there; the k-lite pack includes most of them.

Also; wiki wiki wiki! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec

  Well, actually it does.  Some players have the codecs built in, like VLC or MediaPlayerClassic.  Codec packs can be bad mkay.  :sun:
