ALShow: Video Player that can handle anything

If you find that you have video files on your machine that don't play easily, or you don't have a codec installed, then you should really try this simple player called ALShow. It is available at this link.
Operating Systems: Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows XP
If ALShow can't play that video clip, you're really sunk--this media player claims to handle every codec out there, and that appears to be true. In addition to the dozens of codecs included with the file (everything from AVI and MOV to Ogg Vorbis and beyond), the program automatically seeks out missing codecs and downloads them on the fly if needed.
Not only that, but ALShow does a great job with playback. Clips are smooth and audio is clear, even with files that don't play smoothly in other media players. You can even output video files to a TV screen. Other features include Favorites and Recently Played lists, plus audio and video capture modes.
