I've been using the Kazza Lite codec pack for over 3 years and never yet found a file that wouldn't open. You can get it here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/changelog/ If you use it, I would download v 2.79 just because I don't download any new versions of anything and 2.80 has only been out 2 days. Also, during the install, you will be able to choose which programs to install like players, etc. And, if you have any other codecs installed, I would uninstall them first as they can conflict.
Most downloaded movies are in AVI or MPEG format, heres a basic guide how I burn mine using NeroVision http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/356114/2104525 No need for conversion, just let Nero do the lot. You can find an excellent guide, by alkohol, in my sig.
