Post by thread:[OT]: Someone here can play all video formats on h

Hello, I'm downloading and trying to play some videos, but all I got is headache. There are 3 main formats (AVI, MPG e DIVX) but there's a lot of CODECs and I can't put they all to work. What is the trick? There's some software that can clean the CODECs on my system and install all the CODECs needed?

Edson, Here's a utility that will tell you what your computer has, and what codec your files need. Freeware, useful. Web: http://p.duby.free.fr/avicodec.htm Lyle {Original Message removed}

I use two programs to test video - VirtualDub and TMPGEnc. They're both free off the web, so are quite a few others. With either you can load a video (except MS .asf format AFAIK and other "lesser" formats like.rm .ram .mov or .viv which need 3rd party players) and find out its encoding, fps, sample rate and so on. You can then either re-save it in a different format or know what codec to go look for (at somewhere like the codec warehouse) to play it in its original format. They are both also good for editing video - eg dropping frames or reducing display size to make smaller files, repairing keyframes etc. I've never removed a codec from my PC and must have quite a few installed by now, and have no problems -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
