The good news is you do not need to buy or download another video player to play these files. There is a codec pack called K-Lite that has just about every codec you will ever need to playback any file. The even better news is this pack is free. When you download K-Lite there is a basic, standard and full versions. I recommend the full version but make sure to un-check the option to install Media Player Classic during the install process. The player works but I prefer to use the Windows player.
There is also a handy utility called mediainfo included with K-Lite. It will show all kinds of details about a video file like bit rate, codec type, width, height and a bunch of other very useful information. If you install Total Commander you can use the Start Menu with this utility to make for a very easy way to check video file info. I included a screen shot of the setup in TC for mediainfo.
