Anybody know what file type that extension is? Should be video because it is a TV show (or rather whole season) that I downloaded. What player do I need for it?

Indeed, I use VLC for video and it works very well

Whole lot less memory intensive than WMP, that's for sure.

Yes, this is the best option i prefer too.

This lets you play EVERYTHING. You have all the available codecs required to play videos\audio and lets you play quicktime and realmedia in mpc and since mpc is so basic, it's so fast loading and is easy to pull specs off of video files such as res ans fps when doing transcoding.

Media Player Classic is another good player for that file container.

u r all wrong ... GOM PLAYER ...FTW !!!!!!!

there is no "wrong" in this situation, just personal preference. I use MPC + K-Lite for everything audio/video except for playlists myself...

I know this is old, but I too use MPC and the K-Lite codec pack. And if there is anything that MPC doesn't play, I bust out VLC. >

what doesnt play on mpc?

If something doesnt play, then you dont have the right codec or filter.

I'm beginning to learn how to transcode 720p and 1080p video now so this should be fun.
