There is a fantastic small program by the name of
GSpot @
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ which will not only tell you all the codecs you have installed in your system, but for anyone who watches films, this is a must have appliance.
It will tell you which codec you need for any movie that you do watch, and many other features.
Truly, a must have for movie fans.
