Alternative to Windows Media Player that supports all video/audio files?

Question

I have been using Windows Media Player in my Windows 7 and I found that it can't play some type of video formats like MKV. So I am searching for a new player which: - supports any type of video files - supports any type of audio files - should be under 30 MB in size - should provide volume above 100 (because Windows Media Player is not so good in case of volume) - should be easy to use

Answer 1

VLC media player

You should try VLC Media Player - an open-source media player that plays most codecs with no codec packs needed supporting a wide range of video formats, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV, MP3...Download VLC Media Player directly from the VIDEOLAN Website by following the steps below:

1. https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
2. Click on the DOWNLOAD VLC button.
3. The installer will open, choose your language, then click NEXT

VLC runs on all platforms - Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix, iOS, Android ...and the "cool" thing is that it's Completely Free!

ENJOY!

Answer 2

You might be missing a CODEC to make the MKV videos play. Download a codec package and install it on your computer. Or, try VLC, an open-source video player that plays most file types.
