A video player.

The other option is not to change video player software, but to install an updated codec pack.
media player classic is a popular choice chipsteruk. although the other options are nearly endless.
Thanks guys
You may not have to change your video player. Installing CoreAVC could help - it's an extremely fast decoder for this sort of stuff. If you have a catch-all codec or pack installed, remember to disable it for H.264/AVC so that CoreAVC can come into effect.

^^best answer. There was a time when codec packs used to contain just about everything -- free and non-free alike. It seems that K-Lite and CCCP had to avoid the proprietary stuff a few years back, but I wonder if there are any other all-in-one codec packs that contain CoreAVC?
I make a point to avoid CoreAVC. I've only put it into use for 1 computer, and that's only because the performance of 1080p 30fps (HD camera) was so borderline, and hardware acceleration wasn't possible. Only problem is it crashes Explorer when trying to generate a thumbnail of an MKV. As much as I've tested other decoders, I always come right back to ffmpeg-multithread and ffmpeg DXVA. I'm not at all impressed with the newer LAV splitter/decoder.

best players for 720p/1080p
Media Player Classic Home Cinema
Mirillis splash pro
no additional codecs need installed
I use the details view in Explorer, so I haven't faced that problem. If you can live without thumbnails, you can use this tool to disable generation. It has other cool functions, also.
