VLC will play both formats in Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. So, BFD.


More than that - install any one of several widely available free codec
packs and any player will play them.


...and those will likely just be the same collection of free software that powers VLC.


Well maybe, but I find more bugs in VLC than I do if I just install
Combined Community Codec Pack and play in Media Player Classic Home Cinema.

VLC tends to be buggy but mPlayer is even worse.
The latest version of VLC has been working fine for me though.
Under Windows 8.1 of course.


The only problem I can remember with the current VLC 2.1.5 was that I
found a video file where seeking back and forth in it totally failed
taking me to somewhere totally different from where I wanted. Media
Player Classic Home Cinema played it perfectly.

Not so long ago I remember many versions of VLC on Windows couldn't even
play an audio CD without crashing. It was like the developers weren't
talking to each other, it would get fixed for one version and the next
version it'd be broken again. I think it was the 2.0.x versions.

Open source programmers are known to be and act like children. These
days they infighting about SystemD....

While the rest of the world is busy using their computers via useful
software, the Linux developers are arguing and fighting like school
yard children.

And they wonder why people are turned off on Linux?
One look at the Linux community is more than enough to turn off most
people. And if that's not enough, using Linux, as an average user,
for any length of time will turn off the rest of them.
