I see that many people read this thread...

For Windows users another excellent source of CODECs is

Nimo Codecs

Click on the same in my 'sig' below...
To download Nimo Codecs, choose Build 8 from any of the Mirror Sites that are marked as 'available'...

You will receive practically every possible Codec you will need, a proven player and much more.
Installation is simple. But, be sure to read the very few warnings before you do the install.

btw... CODEC = COder/DECoder .... CO DEC
