Many times we can't play a downloaded media file in default media player. We need to install extra codec pack to be able to play the file.
Today we are going to share a media player that fulfills all your needs. VLC Media Player handles DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more.
With VLC, there is no need to continually update many different codec packs. VLC comes with nearly every codec built in!
And whats more, VLC can play back your files, even if the media is damaged! Missing or broken pieces wont stop VLC. All the video and audio information that remains can be played.

I can't open .rmvb (real media) files in VLC ... is there any way to watch this file in VLC ?

Some formats may give problems in VLC. Best way is install "K-Lite codec Pack" and enjoy every format in WMP or Media Player Classic. You can find it in "Media Players" section. :)
