try to find which codec may be needed to play your file (i.e. using GSpot)
and then just make up your mind and experiment from this list http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Use...and_containers

Actually, there´s only one codec you need - the actual ffdshow

It plays everything you need.

Find it here : http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=173941

ffdshow does indeed play a lot of file formats but NOT necessarily the best.

For example NVIDIA PureVideo (not free) will do way better job on decoding MPEG2 both SD and HD sources than ffdshow

CoreAVC (note free) will do again way better job on decoding h264 files than ffdshow.

AC3filter for ac3 sound again is better than the ffdshow one.
