Re: how do I find right codec?

Cool, Thanks for that.

However, Gspot is reporting on one avi that it is encoded with
divx(which it also reports as installed, correctly) but selected "Play
with assiciated player" (windows media player) still fails.

Any further tips?

Also, one avi I have gspot can't identify the codec ?

I have a couple of AVI files that when I try to play them, I can't
because I don't have the right codec.

Windows media player doesn't try to find it, it just says I don't have
it.

Is there a method by which I can examine an avi to determine what codec
is required to play it?


Download the free "GSpot" utility.

Luck;
