Question Video Players

Not sure if this has been covered.
I need a PC app to play video files that can't be played by Win Media Player of Realplayer.
I also have Quicktime, I find both Quicktime and Realplayer pretty crappy when it comes to stability.
Is there anything that plays pretty much everything?
Do I need a divx decoder to solve the above problem?

Are they .mov, .par, .mpg ????

Have no idea. You might want to scan through www.divx.com though. If I had time at the moment I would offer to do this but I'm a tad busy....

Win Media Player version 7 plays just about anything... BUT you may also need the DIVX codec for some files. Get the V7 upgrade and if you're stuck, send me a private msg and I'll zip up the DIVX patch for you.
