- QuickInfo for GSpot v2.1 2 January, 2003
-
- Installing GSpot:
- 1. Unzip the files to some folder somewhere.
- 2. Run GSpot.exe by double clicking on it.
-
- Beginners Guide to Using GSpot:
-
- 1. Use File > Open to open the AVI file of interest (or drag & drop the file into GSpot).
-
- 2. Look at "Codec" section in "Video Format". If the "Status" says "not installed", you
- will probably have to obtain the codec shown. The same goes for the "Audio Format"
- section - if the appropriate "audio codec" is not installed, you may get no sound.
-
- 3. GSpot only identifies what is required; it does not supply or install it. Many sites on
- the internet offer codecs for free download - type the name of the one you require and the
- word "codec" into your favorite search engine to find a site that has it - then download the
- codec file and run its install. That should "upgrade your system" so Windows Media
- Player (or any other) can now play the file.
