    I have a video that i downloaded and i want to watch it but i don't have the correct codec to watch it. Ive tried downloading codecs, downloading programs to identify what type of codec is needed for it and can't figure it out. If anyone knows what to do, please help. thanks

    alansri,

    This pack has G-Spot any many other little features as well, plus Media Player Classic which will play 99.9% of video.

    GSpot is actually quite limited in terms of what containers it supports. Try MediaInfo instead. What is the extension of the file though? Not 100% accurate, but it is usually a good starting point.

    Yes it has,but installing it all may cause confliction issues if he/she has already d/led and installed other codec packs.It happened to me lol.
    celtic_d is right though,a bit more info would help.
