Try VideoLAN (Client). While the official release is an installer, you can extract it with 7-Zip (available as a portable version), or just get a portable version of VLC. VLC supports most video formats via DLL files in its own folder, so it does not need to rely on codecs installed on the system (though you can configure it to use those instead).

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema also exist as portable and have internal support for a big list of codecs

You might also consider SMPlayer (basically a front-end on top of MPlayer), which also has a portable version you can download.
