I just setup a new system with Windows 7. Which of the various codec packs is my best bet, with as few as possible bugs and conflicts and junk-proof for my new system?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

FFDshow is a clean, self-contained set of codecs, unlike the sprawling mess that is k-lite and the rest. If you use a good player, such as The KM Player or Media Player Home Cinema then you don't need to install a lot of codecs anyway. If you are installing codecs for encoding, just install the codecs you need, as you need them.
Personally, I would never install a codec pack like k-liteRead my blog here.

ffdshow
haali media splitter
PotPlayer (Daum)
Pot player is made by the same guy who created KMplayer...he evidentally sold the km player thing and now its adware...Pot Player is basically KMplayer but w/o all the hassle and some new and improved features -
Up until now i've hated all codec packs Klite, community codec pack then i found win7 codecs (http://shark007.net/) which i use now on my 64bit win7 which has ffdshow all the splitters and integrates itself in windows media player and media center and if you encounter any problems there's a reset all button to restore all native codecs as they were just in case

I was also going to mention the shark page as i learned about it recently. Does anybody else have an opinion about it?
ATM i'm using kmplayer and mediplayer classic, since they have been my favorite players for a while but is the decoding process as reliable as installing codecs or codec packs?
Did not honestly know though of the potplayer. Will have to look into it and see what it has to offer. -
well most codec packs leave bit of registry left on your comp and leaves some splitters registered when u uninstall and also if you have a certain codec already on your comp they'll add there's so it'll clash But with Shark COdecs it doesn't come with mediaplr HC and other crap you don't need All it does is install the required codecs to play most formats and disables all the one's that windows was natively using that's gonna clash with it and if you find a problem with it you can reset all codecss changes back to the way it was
