Answer 1

When you install Gomplayer, you have a free player, tha can play any file type. .avi,.mp-4, mpeg, divx, .mov. .flv, asf and many more, No need to install extra codecs.

All you do is go to preferences   --  others  --  select all

File types  -- Codec

Now you will be able to play all your videos

when you have Gomplayer, you do not need real player, quick time, windows media player. Windows media player you can't uninstall, but the other players you can. As you say you do not want to download anything you do not need.  Get rid of them and enjoy Gomplayer

Ya, I have that problem to. What I would do is get a bittorrent downloader, such as Utorrent, and get your movies that way. you can get better quality clips too.
