What AVI Codec is it ?

[ChickenMan]

A neat little util called GSPOT is available to help identify the Codec used in an AVI plus others.

It :

o Determines which video codec an AVI file uses
o Determines what audio encoding method the file uses
o Determines what codecs you have installed, and whether you have the one needed
o Up-to-date database of over 200 codecs, including the latest DivX 5 and XVID systems

Also...
o Shows reported audio bitrate and calculates video bitrate
o Reports if the file is truncated, and how many bytes are missing. Great for downloaders.
o Identifies MPG, MPEG, MOV, WMA, WMV, or ASF if an unknown non-AVI file is examined.
o Shows RIFF INFO (title, etc) if present, including hidden ASCII in the "JUNK" field
o Easy to use ("File > Load" and you're done)
o Free for personal use

Will it tell me if an mpg is ready for VCD, SVCD or somewhere in between? That would be nice.
