XVid or DivX should do it. Plus there are programs that can determine what codec you need for particular videos (future reference). These programs are GSpot or AVICodec. Google em and you should find them.

The link to the codecs you'll need for the avi's is here:

More, remember that COmpressing capaibilites of DivX must be purchased, but its DECode capabilities are freeweare.

Or install FFDShow to install a general multi-decoding utility...

I have been using the Kazaa-lite codec pack (standard) for 2 years and have never had a problem with the hundreds of movies I have downloaded from various sites. It already contains G-Spot, FFDShow, WMP Classic and more or you can choose what you want. It is available here at AD or Edskes and is a small download but if using, I would advise uninstalling any other codecs as I have read that they can interact and cause problems.
