try vlc media player, it could be a problem with the codecs, these will be installed along with the player.

VideoLAN - VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)

its free.

good advice dasteph vlc player is the way to go, no computer should be without it.
