1. It is best to do so. Don't leave anything installed unless you really know what you're doing. If you don't uninstall a codec, then it might cause conflict with the CCCP instalation.

2. Just to clarify, Windows Media Player 10 is not a codec. It is a media player. Media Players (i.e., WMP10, MPC, Core Media Player, Winamp, Zoom Player) use codecs to decode the video and audio. You can leave all media players installed.

4. CCCP supports XviD and other codecs as well as h264, but if you don't want it to do so, you can always uncheck the box on the first page of configuration when you install it. If you do this, you'll need to have XviD separately installed. There is only small advantage to doing this and some would argue that there is no advantage.
