"very promising (and free)"
Version: Cole2k Media Codec Pack (Standard) 7.9
Pros
Adds MPEG-2 codec (amongst others: xVid, DivX, and camcorder formats) to the computer, which will then allow for DVD playback et al. Assumes you have a WDDM graphics card (IF using Windows Vista or 7); not just XDDM, as in "X"P Device Driver Model.
Cons
two toolbars get loaded (unless you choose the expert install and uncheck those boxes)
Summary
Just talking about Windows Vista and 7, make sure you are NOT using a "XDDM" driver for your graphics card; otherwise, this won't work (i.e. didn't work for me, but noticed that I had an old 64MB nVidia GeForce2 MX card that was labeled "XDDM" in the device manager (of Vista)--switched to a 32MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra (without "XDDM"), but still no good (but that's an even older card):
thinking best to stay with XP or get a newer graphics card (perhaps check nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx and make sure your card isn't in the "legacy" catagory; or, check ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML and make sure there is a Vista/7 driver or that it's not listed as "legacy" under XP). -

"It worked for me!!"
Version: Cole2k Media Codec Pack (Standard) 7.7

I couldn't play an mpg file on my Vista Windows Media Player v11, and now I can. That was all I was after. Just don't install the dealio crap and life seems to be good.(so far).

None found yet, but I haven't pushed it too hard yet.

Beats paying $15 to Roxio for a stupid codec that used to be free.
