GSpot

See what codecs you need to play a video file.

Many times, when we want to see a video, we realize that we can only hear the audio, only see the video or in some occasions we can't see or hear anything. The usual thing in these cases is that we haven't got the proper PC codecs installed. To find out what codecs are missing we can use GSpot.

  Among the hundreds of audio and video codecs that exist GSpot detects practically all of them. It can scan MPEG1/2/4, DV1/2, MP4, MP3, H263, H264, FLV, AAC, AC3, DTS files among many other and search among more than 700 video codecs and 240 audio ones, to find out exactly which one it the one that compresses and codifies the file that we want to play. Once we know which one it is, we will be able to download it without any problem to install it and watch the video or listen to the audio file.

  This program can help you a lot if many of your tasks require the use of videos, because many times when we download, share or exchange a video, it is treated differently by different people, reaching the point that your computer might not even know that the file you have is a video or audio file. For these files, GSpot will indicate what they contain.
