where the fuck are u getting ur movies??? I've only ever seen mp4 and mkv, all of which even windows media player handles I think

Mp4 and mkv are container formats. Your comment is somewhat equivalent to "where are you guys getting text files that can't be displayed, I've only ever seen zip files".

The codec in the container is what needs to be played, and can fail to render correctly.
