Download Gspot and open the video file through there, it will show you what codec is needed.

Just try this;

1) Remove K-Lite codec pack

2) Download & install ATI Catalyst 7.4 display driver.

3) Install CCCP codec pack and play files in MPC.

In media player click tools/options/performance/advanced, then under "Video Acceleration" uncheck the box that says "use video mixing renderer"
