Uh.. I think this was discssed in another thread...
You need (i think) the divx codec.  This media player supports just about everything, ergo, I reccomend it. (Also, I used it to watch the video :P)

Or, just install the codec it wants, read Xandria\'s post: http://planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?boardid=13&threadid=8434&page=1#14

Windows Media Player will look for the codec on a Microsoft server and usually fail. You can download the codec from divx.com and then play it with WMP.

If you have Linux you can use MPlayer to play just about any video or audio file you can find. It can play Quicktime and Windows Audio/Video through the use of Windows DLL files.
