There's a lot for XP. I seem to see people talking about the K-lite codec pack most, so it must be one of the more popular ones.

I don't use codec packs, though. I just find the codec when it's needed. /:

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. That thing will let you play up to 70% of all media formats in the world. The rest either require their own proprietary players/plug-ins (a.k.a. not using the conventional codec methods), or just are not playable yet (decoding bugs, etc...).

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

70% is a bit low...I would say 90% is closer...
