Well How Should I Get Codecs?
Get the specific codecs you need as you need them (THIS IS THE BEST AND ONLY SMART CHOICE) thus ensuring you get the latest most stable most secure version of that codec. If you’re feeling daring, you can try to use a “good” codec pack such as CCCP or the Zero Codec Pack. See here for how to find out what codec you need. Note that I’ve seen CCCP do bad things now too, so I do not feel any codec pack is safe any longer. Making users your guinea pigs sucks no matter who is doing it. Q: Every time I try to play my AVI file with WMP I get the message “Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.” A: The file you are trying to play is corrupt. You’ll need to get a correctly encoded version of the file in order to play it.

[Some players may be able to still play this file, but it is corrupt and you will have trouble with it in various applications – reencoding it now is the best option since now the source material is probably still around so you don’t get locked out of it at some date in the future
