I need a live cd that can play avi/mkv

Windows 7 64 bit is bugged. (tearing/pixalated video)

I can't boot into my XP parition, not even with SuperGRUB.

So right now I need a live cd that preferably supports the Geforce 9000 series, and most importantly can play video.

I tried Knoppix 6.0.1 but I got "out or range"

Thanks.

This will do a great job on that: http://www.linuxmint.com/.
There's also a 64-bit version available: http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php (scroll down a bit)
