2. Install recommended decoders
ffdshow: Download the latest and greatest build from here: ffdshow SVN builds, e.g. ffdshow_rev2405_20081201_clsid.exe. Run the installer to install and configure the video and audio decoders.

SAF is all in one codec pack, made for mediaportal.
You do not need to set anything yourself, it is the all in one solution.
Try and you will see (it also uses ffdshow and others).

If you just want to install FFDshow you download the latest version under "generic builds". During the install, you do not need to change anything. Just leave all the defaults.
