Windows Media Player - it comes with all windows computers post Windows 98. There's also a million others. Go to download.com and type "movie players"

You probably need to find out what CODEC your movie file is using. Has nothing to do with the player program - you need to install the codec to get something to play properly.

The most widely used codec for what you're probably looking for is DivX.

Use google, dude. It's easy and fun.

Hes talking about MPEG2 or svcds which you will need to find a codec to play in windows media player. If you have any dvd player software it should be able to handle it.

I used the VNC player found on icrontic downloads to play vcds/svcds when/if I get stuck working a weekend shift...

*edit* wrong link

this looks like a remote control software rather and a VCD player?
