What is GSpot?
GSpot is a free software application for Windows that helps users identify the codecs used in video files and ensures the necessary playback components are properly installed and configured. The tool was initially developed to support AVI files, but has since expanded to include full compatibility with Ogg and limited support for other commercial container formats, such as MPEG, QuickTime, and Windows Media Video. Through GSpot, users can easily determine which codecs and filters are required to play a particular video file, enabling them to troubleshoot and resolve any playback issues
