Multimedia players like VLC Player or Media Player Classic Home Cinema should cover any codec deficit, but there's always that rebellious video with an obscure or too-old combination. The first step to fix such an issue is to identify the codecs used in the original processing, and that's where VideoInspector, a tool developed by KC Softwares.
I still have memories of the nightmare that was installing codec packs on old versions of Windows. Videos without image or slow playback, conflicts between multiple versions, manually erasing traces left by some codecs when uninstalled... personally, I'm glad I left that era behind. Today, players handle the heavy lifting. VLC Player and Media Player Classic Home Cinema are true multimedia allies, and together they can play almost anything... emphasis on "almost". Videos stored on a forgotten optical backup, clips recorded with a basic phone whose codec is a mystery... always there is a file that resists modern players. In those cases, the first thing you should do is download VideoInspector.
How to find out a video's codec
VideoInspector is one of the many free tools that KC Softwares offers on its official page (the same company behind the well-known SUMo software updater). You can download the traditional edition, but it's much more convenient to use the build (click the zip icon to get it). Once open, VideoInspector will ask you to enter the video to analyze. At the bottom you'll see a video box that reports codec, resolution with its format and FPS, and an audio box that reports the codec and the number of channels (for example, 5.1 audio appears as "6 channels"). The rest of the information will depend on each codec, and the download button is just a shortcut to Google that searches for its ID. Another option is to go to the Codecs section and click Download Codecs, which will take you to codecsdb.com (with error 500 at the time of writing).
Another useful aspect of VideoInspector is that it can present a list of the codecs already installed in the operating system, but its secondary functions (recording DVDs or changing the FourCC sequence) require additional downloads. The only major problem with VideoInspector is that it doesn't work with MP4 videos. The only supported container formats are AVI, Matroska (MKV), MPEG I, MPEG II and QuickTime. Beyond that, VideoInspector fulfills its goal, and it won't take up almost anything on your maintenance USB drive.
