Can someone tell me of a good codec pack that is free and has every codec you would ever need? I used to use NIMO but for some reason it sucks lately...lemme know thx...
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

The problem is that Codec packs also contain a lot of stuff that conflicts with each other, etc. etc.
Sorry.

I've used ace codec pack for sometime. It allows you to install one at a time or all at once. I've never had any problems with it.

I have seen people have major problems with codec packs ingeneral, not to indict all of them at once. I find it helpful to install codecs one-by-one, it helps to familiarize yourself with how they work, where they reside, etc.
Here is a list I had compiled some time back, I've made an effort to bring it up to date:
Ogg Directshow filters - http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm
XCD Filter - www.doom9.org
Riff CD/XA filter - www.doom9.org
Huffyuv - http://math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv.html
DivX 5 - http://www.divx.com/divx/
DivX 3.11 - http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divxcodec.html (Like I said, I didn't need this to play DivX 3 files, just DivX 5)
Mpeg2 - http://www.elecard.com/products/mpeg2decoder.shtml (If you don't have a hardware MPEG2 decoder and if you don't have or don't want to use PowerDVD or WinDVD)
AC3 filter - http://ac3filter.sourceforge.net/
Xvid codec - http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html
DivX Antifreeze -
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/antifreeze_filter.html (Only necessary if you have problems with the video playback in certain Divx files locking while the sound continues)
Ffdshow - wonderful decoder that can decode almost anything, form DivX 3 on up to DivX 5 and XviD. MPEG support is spotty at best and not recommended. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INSTALLING THIS
Latest Windows Media Codecs - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/default.asp
VobSub - http://gabest.org/
Quicktime Alternative - www.freecodecs.com
Real Alternative - www.freecodecs.com
This is about as simple as I can make it without using a codec package like Nimo, which always invlove risks.

the NIMO LIGHT pack is grate, never had a problem with it.
in adition download all the divx codecs (3,4,5) + Xvid
and your set to go.HELL AINT A BAD PLACE TO BE
