I let him know that beside vlc, there exist mplayer which is free and open source.  He uses Windows Vista and Windows 7 but 64 bit.

You can make smplayer use almost any MPlayer version.
However a better variant combining the latest versions of both might be
http://mulder.brhack.net/#mplayer (hope that's the right one, I think
the old URL still isn't working, we should probably check and update
the related projects page).
