    Vista codec? You mean a media codec?

    I recommend CCCP, K-Lite, or Windows Essentials Codec Pack. They can be found in the free software sticky.

    K-lite codec is the best codec pack out there in my opinion. And Media Player Classic, which is included in it is just brilliant. Plays everything, I've ever thrown at it.

    Vista codec pack is quite good as well.

    What you would want is the standard version. Also, i'm pretty sure it works for 64-bit.
