Try this codecs: http://www.codecpack.com/allin1.php. Page is in Czech, 
but should be obvious what to click ;-), note that  installer is in 
English. If that won't work try to download Nimo Codec Pack (should be 
easy to find via Google) which offers more codecs (but sometimes 
introduces  more problem so I discourage it's use when not necessary).
As for site used for downloads there is I always use: www.tucows.com  -- 
it is extensively mirrored across the world. And I'd like to point out 
that many of great software are free: I use free image viewer, free ftp 
client, free text editors, ad-less instant messaging...

Regards,
