Most common video codecs?

i'm not a fan of VLC, its good for linux or mac (because i really don't know what i'm doing on those os's!)
media player classic is by far my favourite video player, if you press..
ctrl + 0, ctrl + 5, ctrl + 3 it looks really sharp without the extra buttons and things, and is nice and compact, ctrl + t keeps it on top, and ctrl + 7 opens a playlist
it has native dvd support too (i know vlc has this also..)
my 2 cents!

Can you show me the license agreement for the Cyberlink MPEG-2 decoder (one of at least 3) in the K-Lite pack please.Úlfhednar said:And there's been no legal actions because? Ah, that's right, because it's legal.
All you need to play almost any media format through mediaplayer classic or \ WMPis: (I use this too and have absolutely no issues at all)
They are all free too..
- Real Alternative
- Quicktime Alternative
- DiVX (also decodes other mpeg4 formats like xvid and does a better job)
- WinDVD TRIAL (install it and leave it alone, MPC will use the DVD decoder for audio/video instead)
- VobSUB (to decode subtitles in certain movies and videos, it auto loads in MPC so no worries there)
- Matroska Lite (adds support to MPC for matroska format files like MKV and other subtitles that vobsub cannot handle)
- Mediaplayer Classic 6.4.9.0 or better (get it standalone if you don't wnat to install the built in one that ships with real/quicktime alt)
These all work seamlessly and do not run in the background so it's all fast.

Good to see many have converted to Classic Media Player 
I use to be a fan of Zoomplayer, but then just had issues and bumped into the simple/fast Classic media player, still better then VLC player but I keep both that way can play back any format literally.
