What I would recomend...

K-lite mega codec pack with media player classic. It will play pretty much anything thrown its way. No reason to install the entire pack either, only what you need.

VLC for anything that doesn't work in media player classic.

Realplayer installed for realmedia codecs.
Quicktime for its codecs.
-----
MediaInfo as a last resort in case I ever run into a file that I can't seem to play. It basically tells you what is inside your media so that you can google for what codecs you need to download. I have never needed it though.

:EDIT:

I will say one last thing though, the VLC icon is ugly. I always change it to something else. x3
