When it comes to video Winamp sucks.

I'm not a fan of codec packs in general due to all the problems they've caused me over the years. Because a lot of them tend to stuff everything they can in. The exception to the rule is CCCP. It installs a small set of decoders (not the same as codecs) that will play back almost any video & audio.

I use this pack with either Windows Media Player (fully updated) or Media Player Classic (a great lightweight player that comes in CCCP). You could also use VLC player which uses only internal codecs. VLC can plays most things pretty well. You can try either and make your decesion. But you'll probably want to uninstall K-Lite first to avoid any conflicts with CCCP.
