Evangelion Codec Help?

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

So I downloaded a sub of Rebuild of Evangelion 01 here (search for
evangelion_rebuild) and ran into problems almost immediately.

It seems that the subtitles are designed to be read using Windows Media Player, but I don't have whatever codec would make this one work and also have no
clue as to how to figure out which one to get. (I thought I was up to date, but it would appear otherwise.) It'll play under VLC Media Player, but the
subs are all wonky and in many cases completely illegible -- black text on black background, yay.

Can anyone assist with this conundrum? ^.^

CCCP: Complete Community Codec Pack. Worked wonders for me.

Bah, you got my hopes up. Its still only the awful cam release Im trying to hold out for some kind of hq release.

Installing CCCP didn't work, but switching to Media Player Classic did.

And I'd rather see a high quality dvd-rip myself, but for now it's what we got. ^.^
