"I can't rely
on him having any additional codecs"

Maybe there's a reason? Maybe the person who is receiving it doesn't want
any more codecs on his machine for some reason? This is immaterial because
he asked "What codecs can I use that can definitely be read in all Win XP
versions of WMP? Can I give him a VCD?" so therefore, answering his question
with an answer about the codecs that will definitely work on all versions is
CLEARLY the correct answer to his question.
