Ugh! i am sure you have faced the problem i am about to mention in this post at least a few times in this video crazy World. There are times when you play a video in your favourite player only to find the codec error laugh in your face. A lot of us dont even know what this issue is about leave alone the fact that now we need to solve this issue. Some weak Heart people give up while other gladiators hang on trying to find out what is the missing codec and how they can find a player that supports the codec. A lot of time using one of the popular open source media player can do the trick and you dont have to bother about the problem. This post is not for those who dont care and are only concerned about watching the video but for those curious minds who want to go right to the bottom of the mystery. Find that culprit codec and then find the drivers for their favourite player and make sure they watch it in their own comfort zone.
If you are one such geek then you will definitely like MediaInfo Mac – a small 5 MB application that practically gives complete information about any media file that you throw at it. So the next time you dont know what codec is giving you the issues use MediaInfo and go Codec Hunting my friend.
