MPlayer is your solution.

MPlayer is very same as MPC. It does not use much memory and much space plus it's about as big as 10mb or smaller, without the extra codecs. If you're planning to add more codecs it'll be like 40+mb. but still, Mplayer wont have the problem in codec prioritizing because it's also like VLC that has built in codecs.

If you do not know how to run a command line. I suggest you get the front-end for it. Some front ends offer a playlist thing. Dont get the gui's cause it's kinda hassle for Windows, gui for MPlayer will only be good for Linux. The difference between MPlayer and VLC is MPlayer offers all codecs available in the market while VLC offers only a few.

there are lots of Media Players that sucks up ram to get the decoding of own built-in codecs faster. You may not have encoutered it yet.
