Audio Codecs

[Fitty]

WMP tells me I need a codec - but it can't tell me what. I downloaded the movie Hero, and the audio won't work in WMP, DivX, Winamp... anyone know how I can find out what codec I need so I can watch my movie?

Download, VideoInspector, it should pic up the codec.

never tried it but it might be of help. they also have codec packs you can download for certain players such as WMP

Thanks, downloading and checking now, will get back to you on what works.

Another excellent tool to find out about audio and video codecs is GSpot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/). It rells you all the stuff lurking in a video file and will even perform a test render.

You'll save yourself a lot of trouble in future if you install a codec pack, such as SLD Codec Pack or defiler pack. After installing they should be available for all players.

GSpot was just what I was going to suggest...swine!

Didn't know that many geeks would know what the Gspot was...
