In general, yes. VLC has the most complete codec pack out there so if you have it installed and are being prompted to add another codec to play a file then chances are it's bogus. Streaming DivX is the exception, you do actually require a different codec for that one.

@Rommeltje: Ta very muchly, I was trying to wrap the tags around the link rather than including the reference as part of it. D'Oh! :-(
Everyone's a freak in one way or another - it's how much and how you choose to express it that counts. As long as it harms no-one (unless that's their preference, of course) then who are we to judge?

<3 VLC, but the traffic cone has always been somewhat of a mystery to me.

Grim, for that NOrton analogy I wish I could give you a hundred rep, but I hope you are satisfied with just the one. ^_^
