Here would be my 2 cents of recommendations:
1. Stay away from torrents. They are a gateway for malware.
2. Do not put Codec packs on your system.. Many of those packs are an assembly of code from many sources and they often throw a monkey wrench into your system. If you absolutely have to have a codec, get it from Shark007. This man knows what he is doing and will not provide shoddy code.
3. VLC is usually a good bet to play any video file without any additional codecs. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
