How can I see which codecs and filters are being used to play a file?
You can do that in several ways. Media Player Classic: While playing a file, click on Play in the top menu, then move your mouse onto Filters in the dropdown menu. BSplayer: While playing a file, right-click on BSplayer. In the menu that appears, click on Options and then on Filters. GraphEdit: Start GraphEdit. Drag and drop a file into the window. A graph will be build showing all filters that are used to play the file. GSpot: Start GSpot Codec Information Appliance. Open a file in it. At the bottom you see Proposed Codec Solutions and Tests. Click on the 1 below MS A/V. Now you can see the names of the filters that are used to render that file. Move you mouse over them to see their filenames. ZoomPlayer: While playing a file, right-click on ZoomPlayer. In the menu that appears, click on Filter Properties, then on Graph Information.
