    Don't do codec packs. Not worth it.

    Just do divx and xvid and the rest as you need them. Safest route.

    You'll find most users here will agree with me.

    Codec packs are as bad as a computer virus, it does so much damage.

    Yup....

    If you want to cover 90% of them, just install Videolan (VLC). It has most codecs built into the player.

    Do NOT install K-Lite, whatever you end up doing.
