Pretty good player, has a nasty tendency to annoy you about new versions being available when on-line.
(No more than once per day).
Latest version from some time in July, plays corrupt mp4/flv files pretty well.
I always have a copy of GOM installed although tend to mostly use VLC.

EDIT: Not sure if it still does it, but GOM when given a corrupt AVI file, it scans ahead and seems to
edit the file somehow, afterwards other players have less problem playing the edited stream.
So, dont use on eg a file that is midway downloaded using GOM as it could screw up the final file.
This could happen if you eg use FreeDownloadManager to download a clip and midway want to take a preview,
is advised in such a case to make a copy and preview that.
(FDM scatter downloads, ie not sequentially from start to finish).

EDIT: It's only 10MB, give it a whirl.
