if you know what your doing, you;'d be better off selecting individual codecs and self installing them.

K-Lite worked well for me too, used to be a real pain trying to find out what would play what before that came on the scene. I don't use it anymore though since I started using VLC to watch videos.

VLC is great, and so is Media Player Classic Home Cinema, which also plays pretty much everything out-of-the-box. If you want to use a media player which has no built-in codecs, do not install a codec pack. Instead, install the individual codecs for the file formats you would like to be able to play.

VLC for the win, if i want Compression dlls I'll install them manually.
All hte Klite and Nimmo Codec packs are is the Decompressors for people that still use windows media player for everything.
FInd the Compression you want and obtain the Compression and Decompression DLLs from the provider themselves (xVid, DivX, 3vix, WMV-VC1, etc etc).
Codec packs are good except having so many codecs trying to set themselves as the primary will cause issues in windows.
