This player will do the trick: VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) as it has in-built codecs & is generally very reliable. It won't play realplayer files however.

Wow... that was fast! I haven't tried it yet - but I wanted to thank you before I tried it out - because whether or not it works - it's really cool that you answered so quickly. I just love people who take the time out to help other people when they have the answers. I wish more people were like this - but it seems to be mostly a tech thing... I wonder why that is?

Anyway - thank you again... here's hoping it works and I'll let you know what happens.
