Codec downloads?

Where is some codec software that's free and that isn't supported by ads, if such a thing exists. I have DivX right now and my brohter doesn't like the Gain pop-ups. Anything else that is good enough for the file types on this site?

???

DivX exists with no Ad.
You don't have to use DivX pro to watch videos, just download the "Standard Divx Codec" that can be found on http://www.DivX.com. It has no advertisment included

You can also download XviD

I think I remember using the standard version and then my videos didn't work, most of them anyway. Is Xvid any better?

If all you want to do is decoding, I suggest you get this:

I suggest a much newer version than what's on SF :\
