GOM Player is a free media player which supports most of the codecs (AVI, DAT, MPEG, DivX, and many more) by its own embedded codec system so that you don’t have to look for appropriate codecs everytime when you can’t play a certain video format. For those codecs that require a license that cannot be distributed, GOM will automatically lead you to a open-source codec web-site.

The best feature of GOM Player is playing broken video files. GOM has a registered patent for playing broken AVI format or AVI video files that are being downloaded.
