If you're using Windows, check out VLC at [1]. VLC can play
practically everything on the planet and is available for Mac OS,
Windows, and Linux.

Alternatively, you could replace that Windows installation with
gNewSense  :-)  and use Gnome Totem Movie Player. Totem uses GStreamer
and should be able to play anything that VLC does, provided that you
install the correctly plugins (gstreamer-plugins-bad, ugly, etc.)
Plus, it has the advantage of being included in gNewSense's default
install.
