Or just use VLC Media Player, It supports most video formats and subtitle formats that are out there with out having install a bunch of codecs^_^
I forgot to mention, do this only if you don't like bulky VLC player (Installer itself is 20MB) and want to have a single exe file as your Media Player with all codecs built-in(MPC-HC.exe).
