I got a SVCD movie file (telesync) and I don’t know how to play it. I tried using an SVCD Player, media player, Divx player etc., but it wouldn’t work. What codec do I need to play the video.

SVCD’s need a MPEG2 Codec or decoding filter.
For now VLC will play it straight away (if it is a valid file) - www.videolan.org
