I must be really out of the loop. I watch mostly everything with VLC
or GomPlayer, they both don't need codecs, and do fine for my movies
and videos. :)

I suggest Media Player Classic - Home Cinema edition. It is a
project that supports hardware DXVA internally with no external
filters/codecs required at all. A new build is released every few
days because it is constantly tweaked. You can switch outputs from
overley, VMR7/9 (and renderless) plus a hack to use Vista's EVR in
XP. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123537
For the rare HD media you encounter out in the wild that wont play
nice with MPC-HC, I fall back on WMP 11 and use the codecs in "The
Codec" http://www.m5studio.pl/
"The Codec" 8.2 build 8 is simply the best and ONLY codec pack you
need for HD playback because it bundles the best software decoder
ever, CoreAVC v1.7 (which is commercial software somehow bundled
free).
CoreAVC w/ special new halaai splitter
CoreAAC
DivX
Xvid
AC3 filter
I still have issues now and then, but I'm in a LOT better shape
these days with MPC-HC and the alternative WMP11 w/ The Codec Pack,
a year ago I was pulling my hair out with the musical chairs these
bastard codec gremlins had me play.
VLC is utter crap.
