So for codecs, how exactly does one know which ones to keep and which ones to disable?

There's a lot, and personally I'd rather not mess something up elsewhere just for the sake of the game.
Wishing to know the answer to this too.
Alternately you could just
temporarily disable all codecs before playing Oblivion.
Here are a couple methods for this...

I'll check for an XP version for the one above.
Or, try this... A bit more advanced, but this is another method.
