Just a heads-up; make sure you scan the extracted files for malware before activating them in the media player of your choice, unless you have good reason to trust the source.
I've downloaded alleged "movie files" before that were compressed, upon extraction it turned out to be an executable to install adware. Nice.
Good Advice!

Media Player also can be hacked/hijacked by codec downloads and other exploits contained within a media file that may or may not have been addressed by Windows Security Updates.
