The latest Media Player contains the basic codecs, like WMA, WMV, mp3 etc, believe it supports DVD too.
i believe if you search in google you can find a download pack for Media Player codec for things like that.
The others are then from third parties like Divx, Xvid etc etc.
So i doubt you will find an all in one download solution.
have a google for nimo codex pack.. its got all of the main ones.. some people will flame nimo for reasons unknow.. but i've used it for over 12 months with no problems![]()
Google for ffdshow. That plays a lot of stuff. Nimo is good buy a bit messy; it kind of installs all manner of **** on your pc I find...

SLD codec pack is the best I've found. Includes Xvid and less of the crap thats in Nimo.
NO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOT!!! NIMO! Its the biggest pile of rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe ever! And its outdated (like so many now actually).Originally posted by kaillum

You dont necessarily require DivX5 but I tend to install it first out of habit. These are the ones you need for various types of file:
ffdshow [lots of betas available but latest non beta still Sept-2002]
This is for playing most normal mpeg4 avi's such as DixX and Xvid.
For playing ogm/ogg files you need 3 things:
Ogg DirectShow Filter
Subtitle mixer
VSFilter 2.29 - see here for sourceforge page for latest version.
For more info on ogg/ogm's
AC3 Filter for AC3 Files
matroska splitter for MKV files - you may find you still need a better player than windows media player for MKV's.
Avi Splitter - will allow you to view partially downloaded AVI files.
Real Media Direct Show Viewer - Whilst you still need Real One player installed, this will allow you to view these files on your player of choice.
My current fav media player replacement is Core Media Player
If you dont think you have the right codec to play a file (or think you have too much rubbish installed - i.e. you have installed a pack like Nimo) then drag the mpeg4 file into this program and it will tell you what is needed to play it - Gspot.
Completely screwed all my system last time i installed (well, half installed it cause half the program doesnt work, tried downloading from half a dozen different sites) and screwed WMP9 and PowerDVD when i removed it. Ended up taking off as many codecs as i could and reinstalling both video players and reinstalling tsunami and it worked fine. I still blame NimoOriginally posted by kaillum

Best Avi proggy is BSplayer
Best everything else is PowerDVD or WMP9 if you're lazy like meDONT use WMP9 to play ogg though. Mine always seems to use 500+meg pagefile to play ogm/ogg files in it

R-points pyramid scheme is NOT allowed on HEXUS. Please do not add it back again - thank you.
i use the latest Divx codec and Xvid codec, AC3 filter codec and the tsunami codec pack (but I do a custom one and remove a lot of the codec I do not need or already have
as for a player I use Zoom player (great little player)
