Deploying a "codec pack" in an enterprise environment is a pretty terrible proposition, for many reasons.

IMHO, naturally.

+1 for VLC

the reason we use VLC for the codecs as opposed to "other" 3rd party stuff is that they are well enough known etc that the pack wont be laced with Trojans and malware etc. the CCC pack for example is dodgy at best and every time I have tried it, one of our AV solutions throws a wobbly!

the real answer though is for MS to bloody include the basics!

No, most codec dlls are also not licensed to be distributed without their application either. vlc and media player will cover most things, I don't even have anything else on my home pc.
