Don't install codec packs, instead install the discreet codec you need for the job in hand.

For playback you only need a decompresser. FFDShow is a collection of decompressors in which you can choose or nor to activate the decompresser you need.

Unlike codec packs, I have never heard of FFDShow screwing up anybody's system. Just make sure, for safety, you download your current version of FFDShow from SourceForge.
