Either you ditch WMP and go for a player like VLC or Mplayer or go codec hunting (search the forums for the Nimo codec pack in that case)

hi thanks for that -can i burn cd's on the site u gave me? dose it replace wmp? or can i choice wot to play videos on ?

It will not replace WMP, in that it will not uninstall WMP from your comp (I don't even think if anything Microsoft is uninstallable from a Windows PC :S). You can choose which player to play the movie on (I think that upon installation you will be asked wether you want the player to take over Videos, so that when you double-click a video, it will open in that player) and no, you can't burn with those players (the players themselves are not sites: they are applications). However, IMO, it is better to just have a standalone application for burning stuff (such as Nero) because it is more reliable and offers more options.
