Best Codec Pack for Vista 64 Bit?

[bobthebuilder1]

I'm going to be upgrading to vista64 soon and was wondering which codec pack to download. In the past I've had the feeling that a lot of the packs that are out there are bloated. Several of the sites that I tried to download the installers from even had malware!

Of all the folks who are using vista 64, do you recommend a particular codec pack, and if so, where did you download it from? I'm guessing that WMP isn't going to play nice and get all the video files I have to display video/sound without complaints. In the past WMP has had terrible downloading of codecs on the fly, or at least that has been my experience.

What's your thoughts?

Combined Community Codec Pack

I use it on XP but the website says it's compatible with Vista (doesn't mention x86 or x64).

Yup, that's the only one you should ever touch.

And yes, it works in Vista x86 or x64.

I don't use codec packs.
I don't see the need for them.
They install a bunch of codecs that people will probably never use.

Instead I install codecs as I need them. One by one.
I've found the codecs I use are only divx, quicktime.

If I have to play a video file I use http://www.videolan.org
It plays almost anything out there without having to install a single codec.
