Whenever it is not available with the basic installation of
the MS player (so, probably only "Full Uncompressed Frame" is ok,
because even Intel Indeo codec have too many incompatible versions).

The bad codec are the one you get because you installed some additional
software. The worst are the one which came with hardware. (but they
usually compress better (??)).
Just think about someone which has not the same computer...


Last point, Automatic research of missing codec usually fails.
