A few things to note. The following are freeware or opensource:

DivX 3.11 Alpha:

Koepi’s XviD codec:

3ivX - some of its features become disabled after a certain period:

Nearly everything required for WMV can be found here:

VP6:

Dunno about Huffyuv Lossless Video Codec 2.2.0.1, but here is v2.1.1 and v2.2.0 (possibly just different authors. Huffyuv is opensource):

MPEG2 can be played back fine in VLC (www.videolan.org) or MPlayer Win32 (http://ftp3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/)

There is also Stinky’s MPEG2 codec which can be used for encoding.

Both the following contain Spyware, although you can download both from the main DivX site etc:

DivX 5.1.1 Pro Video Codec
DivX 5.0.5 Pro Video Codec

To have spyware not be installed you need to BUY them from the DivX main site.

Conceivably you could put together you own Codec Package by downloading the codecs from the sites, and zipping it up.

Or you could just go to the sites and download the codecs you need at the time
