I suggest you download GSpot video codec identification utility to check and see if you have the right codecs.It comes with an up-to-date database of over 200 codecs, including the latest DivX 5 and XVID systems.
GSpot identifies all the codecs in a video file – identifies which video codec and audio compression method is used on .avi files, whether the matching codec is installed, and more.
Here are some key features of “GSpot”:
· Determines which video codec an AVI file uses
· Determines what audio encoding method the file uses
· Determines what codecs you have installed, and whether you have the one needed
· Up-to-date database of over 200 codecs, including the latest DivX 5 and XVID systems
· Shows reported audio bitrate and calculates video bitrate
· Reports if the file is truncated, and how many bytes are missing. Great for downloaders.
· Identifies MPG, MPEG, MOV, WMA, WMV, ASF or OGG/OGM if an unknown non-AVI file is examined.
· Shows RIFF INFO (title, etc) if present, including hidden ASCII in the “JUNK” field
· Easy to use (“File > Load” and you’re done)
· Microscopic footprint – download size only 29KB
· Free for personal use
