I'd recommend two options on a fresh vista install and would recommend avoiding any codec packs.
I'd recommend you do a ghost of your install prior to messing around with any codecs.

(1) install SAF

or

(2)

Install PDVD8 Build 2217aU + Haali's MKV Splitter (Click AVI support) + Manually register MPCVideodec.ax (From MPC-HC 32bit standalone filters) + Manually register these files (flvspliter.ax mp4splitter.dll) from MPC-HC standalone filters, then install real alternative 1.9 Lite. Don't install any other codecs. Don't allow WMP to auto install codecs.

You can also install MPC-HC standalone video player, as that is a great media player using internal filters (so is external codec independent)

In MP advanced setup choose
TV = SD: MPV / H264: PDVD8 H264
Video = SD: MPV / H264: MPCVideoDec
Render = EVR

Personally I'd choose option #2 because SAF isn't testing for live HDTV.

Note - latest versions of PDVD8 and PDVD9 are not compatible with MP. That's why i recommend build# 2217aU
