The video is encoded in H.264. Have you ever played any videos in that format before? If you have, try re-loading the file through BitTorrent or run a check on the CRC32 hash and make sure that it matches up (using a program like HashCalc). That's to ensure that the file isn't corrupt.
If you've never played H.264 before, there should be some posts around here for explaining how to get it going. Unlike XviD, I don't believe there's a "codec" you can install for support. You have some options: 1) Install a build of FFDShow with H.264 support. This also affords you some customization, as you may find a build that allows you to make better use of your hardware. Note that CCCP, which is frequently recommended on these forums, is a specialized build of FFDShow along with some additions that works rather well. If you choose this route, you may want to remove any previous codecs you have installed on your system. 2) Use VLC as a videoplayer. If the stable release doesn't support it by now, the beta does. VLC uses its own internal codecs, so you don't need to worry about messing with anything else. It's probably also a good idea to switch away from using Windows Media Player; it's a bit finnicky.

do not worry about the part where people think i havent read the how toplay fansubs topic, i read it when i first got into contact with fansubs etc. i got a whoe loa of coecs on my pc, haali media splitter, ffdshow, k lite codec pack, ac3filter, XP Codec Pack 2.0.4, TMPGEnc and divx, to my beliefs it should work with my windows media player, but what worried me was that it didnt stayed open and showed a small windows media player pop up that the file couldnt be played, what worried me was that the entire program had to be aborded as soon as i presed open |

I'll tell you briefly, though, that you're most likely experiencing an issue because you have too many codecs installed on your system. You'd think that having more codecs would be better, right? Actually, having multiple codecs that can do the same thing can lead to system instability when trying to do media things. The codecs act when they shouldn't, other codecs get confused - it's a big mess. Even worse, with so many codecs running around, it's very difficult to determine what exactly is causing the problem. So, the first step is to remove all of the codecs from your system. They hide away, so it can be a pretty difficult task, but remove every trace of them that you can. You can go from there, then (I'd advise looking over the thread xris mentioned to get the latest advice on what works best). Good luck!
