Features of GSpot 2.60 :
- Establishes what video codecs (audio and video) are required to play an AVI file.
- Determines whether these codecs are installed on your system.
- Isolates problems associated with these codecs.
- Simple operation - Basic use: "File > Open", then read results.
- Identifies download induced problems (truncated files, "cooked" files, etc.)
- Shows framerate, duration, aspect ratio, bitrates, AVI structure info, and more.
- Displays and allows editing of RIFF info (title, etc); displays "hidden" ASCII info.
- Drag and Drop and "Send To" support, multi-file (batch) processing support.
- Copy/Paste or text export GSpot information - format is user configurable.
- Built-in database of 350 video and 150 audio codec types.
- Advanced UI including "dual-mode" and hyperlinked "persistent" tool tips.
- Full support for OGG media files as well as AVI stream formats.
- Identification (only) of non-AVI files (.flv, mp4, .mpg, .mov, .qt, .rm, .swf, .wmv, .asf, etc.)
- Supports VFW, ACM, DirectShow and DMO codec types (audio and video)

Changes in GSpot 2.60 b01 :
- Fixes a limitation which caused problems with very hi-res (e.g.1920 x 1088) MPEG files.
- Fixed several problems which could have caused a VGS related field to continuously display "scanning at 0.0 MB/s" (not to mention conceivably "hanging" by actually "doing" that!).
- Better recognition of AC3 files (either raw or as internally demuxed from a container), including a possible fix of inaccurate information displayed regarding same.
Also sports a new more informative (and "officially sanctioned") display format describing the AC3 audio channel arrangement. The screenshot to the left indicates an AC3 soundtrack with six channels total: five "full range" channels and one "LFE" channel - an arrangement often (and in previous versions of GSpot) referred to as "5.1". The new format further indicates that the five full range channels are arranged as 3 front (L, C and R) and two rear (L and R) channels. we're morons & we copy & paste from free-codecs.com
- Fixed a problem with "codec is installed" vs. "codec not installed" status for files where "codec not installed" was incorrectly displayed for files which actually could play when ffMPEG (and certain other "multi-format" codecs). This was simply a matter of increasing GSpot's internal "maximum supported 'fourcc' codes per codec" which was previously 16. That value that seemed reasonable a few years ago, but is now much too low for codecs ffMPEG, which currently lists support for 42 formats). This GSpot version uses a new max value of 128 formats per codec (which should keep them busy for a while
- Fixed bug that cause the "frame type preview" display to display "S" frames when there were none.
- Fixed bug which caused crash on MP4 files with "64-bit" durations or timestamps in MP4 containers. Furthermore, GSpot now displays the embedded "created" and "modified" date for MP4. The code was corrected so, like most of the rest of the code, it will no longer cause a "divide by zero" crash even if it actually finds some real "garbage" values here.
- Addresses many (but not all) problems with AVI files using NVOP's (the "real" ones, not the "zero time" ones that are not part of a so-called "Packed Bitstream"). The basic info for these files should now be correct although the VGS feature has not been updated to completely deal with them properly. The same goes for AVI "[D]" ("drop' or "dup") frames. Further updates to these issues are forthcoming.
- Pixel frame size (as "stored in stream" vs. "recommended display") mix-up for MP4 containers now fixed. The former is shown in the PIC field, as it should. The latter is displayed specifically as a note in container, and as a ratio in the DAR field. When both are available, GSpot now “reverse calculates" the "PAR" (Pixel Aspect Ratio) even in the absence of a direct value (i.e. as might be obtained from a demuxed video stream).
When all of the above is available and the and the two DAR values significantly contradict one another, an appropriate warning is displayed in the stream info field. I have some "official" MP4 test files that exhibit this error, though I'm not sure who or what app/version was used to create them.

• GSpot 2.60 Build 20060904:
- FLV, MP4, DV1/2 & Raw DV support, more...
- Significant advanced features for technical users
- Includes unique "Visual GOP Structure" (VGS) subsystem - see screenshots
- This is a pre-release - not all features are tested or complete yet. It may be of more interest to technical users, although anyone interested should feel free to download & try it. It is not at all difficult to "use" (Basically just "File -> Open"), but much of the new information provided is of a rather technical nature. But it may tell you exactly what you need to know. See next note.
- Ironically, some simpler features for casual users, (e.g. "You need to install codec 'X' to play this file...") are not complete yet. And I am aware that, to a large extent, it is those features that have made GSpot as popular as it is).
- This temporary limitation is partially due to the complexities of some of the recently developed multimedia formats and variations thereof. For example, some perfectly valid AVI files now require that you replace Microsoft's poorly written "AVI Splitter" with a 3rd party one, even though you have the correct actual codec to play the file. These issues will be addressed in a soon to be released FAQ as well as built in detection for such problems (not complete yet).
