Different audio and video formats need different codecs, which means you may end up with too many of them installed on your system. So, if you want to keep this ever-growing collection under control, you better install InstalledCodec.
InstalledCodec is an easy tool that doesn't even require installation and can tell you exactly what codecs and filters you have installed on your system to play audio and video files.
InstalledCodec works in a very simple way. All you have to do is run it and it'll automatically analyze the system in search of codecs and filters, creating a list with all found elements right on the spot. You can sort the list according to different criteria and also choose which column you want to have displayed.
Other options in InstalledCodec allow you to view extended information about each codec, and also generate an HTML report with the whole list or just some selected elements. This report is just a copy of the list on the interface and can't be customized in fonts or colors.
With InstalledCodec you'll get a very accurate idea of what codecs and filters, both audio and video, are installed on your system.
