Re: Windows 7 x64 and Video Codecs
Depends what formats you want to play. Win7 includes most of the common codecs as standard anyway. Only thing missing really is mkv support for which just installing the Haali splitter will do.

The only thing I installed as Haali Media Splitter and AC3 Filter. No need for anything else.

I just install the full K-lite Codec Pack and include Media Player Classic in it as well, never had a compatibility issue yet with it.
