Most players can play anything as long as you have all the right codecs. But yea, when all fails, like wmp or winamp, I try it with vlc and it almost always works.
VLC Media Player

As a free ware VLC is the best of the lot.
I don’t get why everybody loves VLC. The only good thing is it plays most formats, but it doesn’t exactly play them well. It’s not frame accurate, so doing frame-by-frame is useless, when you press pause it stops it like half a second after you pressed the button, skipping forward and back with any accuracy is out the window, etc etc. Daum PotPlayer, a Korean media player (formerly KMPlayer) can play everything that VLC can and unlike VLC, it plays them flawlessly, plus it has a very nice interface (see screenshot below) and consume less resources than VLC.
A snapshot of PotPlayer:
To download Daum PotPlayer, head over to Doom9's Forum and you have the choice to download the 32-bit or 64-bit version (I recommend the 64-bit edition if you're running Windows 7 x64).
If you're still not convinced about PotPlayer's capabilities, then visit this website (see link below) to read its insightful article. It explains why PotPlayer is truly above and beyond its competition.

Like I said before,my biggest problem with VLC is that it seems to always crash on me.I only does it when I skip forward in clips.
I really like the snapshot feature that it has too.
I have that MPC player.It's solid,but not better than VLC.
I guess I'll have to give this KMPlayer a try next.

I like it for the occasional WMV that doesn't play and AVI files. It is great program.
I should mention that PotPlayer has a built-in DXVA decoder. VLC has it too, but it's inferior to PotPlayer's. It's another reason why I prefer PotPlayer over VLC.
MPC is also slow with some MKV files, especially the 1080p ones. PotPlayer, on the other hand, can handle them with ease.
Do give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
