klite codec pack should have all the codecs you need. But like B4L said VLC media player is the go it will play just about anything you throw at it.

install Cole2k.Media.-.Codec.Pack by far the best i have used, if you do use it untick the toolbar option like the google thing and shit

Its a bit dated but I find GSpot useful in identifying the codec a video file uses. GSpot Codec Information Appliance

I didn't know that the G spot had something to do with codecs.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Gordian Knot codec pack from Doom9 should fix most video playback problems.
