GOM Player
This freeware media player comes with a ton of popular video codecs
preloaded. For codecs that GOM Player cannot handle, the software
automatically takes you to open source software sites to download the
appropriate files.
GOM Player can also handle partial AVI files. That means you can watch
movies while you're still downloading them. Or if you've only managed
to download part of the video, you can check it out to see if it's
worth downloading the rest.

KMPlayer
Like GOM Player, KMPlayer includes a ton of codecs for watching most
video files right out of the box. If you want to watch a file in a
proprietary format like h.264, you can specify an external decoder to
use with the media player.
KMPlayer can also handle damaged AVI files, Quicktime movies, and Real
Media files. You'll need to have RealPlayer and QuickTime installed,
or download Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative.
