Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

    .. which program is the best to use to get the codec...

    Codec is the abbreviation of compression and decompression of that particular video file.

    I recommend one of the K-Lite codec packages available here to download and install. The regular package should be enough, but you can opt for the full package. An alternative that I also found useful is the package of codec on the Shark009.net site.

    Once you have downloaded the package on your computer, you can right-click on the installation. EXE and run as administrator to avoid any problems with the installation.
