This player plays every format I have ever came across. It's bette than DivX player and cleaner running. I do not support spamming products but I think you could use this if I read your blog correctly about that scam you almost downloaded.
MPCSTAR is a setup package and contains the following components:
1. [PLAYER] Tiger Player
2. [CODEC] ffdshow Codec Pack
3. [CODEC] RealPlayer Codecs & ActiveX controls
4. [CODEC] QuickTime Codecs
5. [CODEC] DirectVobSub (a.k.a. VSFilter)
6. [CODEC] VGM2 Codecs
7. [CODEC] Ogg Vorbis Codecs
8. [CODEC] PMP Codecs
9. [CODEC] Windows Media 9 Series Codecs
codec pack is k-lite (must Have)
