KMPlayer will do it with its internal codec pack. Besides, I recommend you to install CCCP which is a simple playback pack for Windows with the goal of supporting the majority of video formats in use today.

If you (justly) don't like the invasive Real Player, there's always Real Alternative, which will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer/RealOne Player.

SMPLayer will playback RMVB out of the box, no external codecs required.

SMPlayer is open source and free; a portable version is available.

The format was created by the people who make RealPlayer, so it will play the file. It can also be played in VLC and Media Player Classic.

    VLC's real media capabilities are rather poor, MPC won't play them at all unless the required codec is installed.

Obviously Real Player would play that .. Or the other alternative is to use a converter to get it in desired/playable format

or else look for some codec you'll get it with very little effort doing google search ..
