Best place to get all codecs in one spot

I've been grabbing codecs here and there for divx, xvid, ac3, etc... Some work, some don't. Isn't there a place to download a collection of all current codecs? If so, where?

I'm using it and can report no problems or spyware or anything like that.

What problems have you heard?

On kazaa search for Nimo Codec Pack. Be careful and scan it though, it should come with a red-white-blue icon. A LOT of them are viruses. So SCAN SCAN SCAN!

Is it better than the Nimo codec pack?

I've heard bad things from that codec. I've had problems with it myself. It will probably do more bad than good.

ffdshow and ac3filter should be all you need.

http://ac3filter.sourceforge.net/

Here is the right advice....stay away form the other codec paks as they do not alway play friendly with your system. These are all yo need.

Is the ac3filter used for AC3 hardware only? Can I use it for other hardware (i.e. soundblaster). I'm fairly new to these stuff.

For playback yes but if you want to encode anything no.

ffdshow is DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DIVX and XVID movies using libavcodec or xvid with rich set of video postprocessing filters. ffdshow can also be used as a separate postprocessing filter for other decoders.

there are only a few codecs you need
Divx5
Divx3.11
xvid
ac3

and thats it, only 4 codecs and you can play just about everything

Decodes an AC3 stream embedded in a movie.
