I use these and they play what i need to. Some video files are just corrupt, in which case You will be hard pressed for any player to play them at all.

This question is subjective but imo the kmplayer is by far the best HD video player especially when you consider it is free. It has played every format I have threw at it (although I do favour mkv) and it has lots of variables for both visual and audio
I don't like it for taking care of music because it has this annoying feature that insists on creating album art for every single song so I stick with wmp for that.

MPC-HC. It has the advantage that you don't have to install it like other players, and doesn't forcibly install video codecs (keeps your system clean with less chance of conflicts/crashing).

VLC is good for all files, but windows media player is best for basic audio files as it has the playlist on the right.
