You can get it G-SPOT
And it does this:-
Determines which video codec an AVI file uses
Determines what audio encoding method the file uses
Determines what codecs you have installed, and whether you have the one needed
Up-to-date database of over 200 codecs, including the latest DivX 5 and XVID systems
Shows reported audio bitrate and calculates video bitrate
Reports if the file is truncated, and how many bytes are missing. Great for downloaders.
Identifies MPG, MPEG, MOV, WMA, WMV, ASF or OGG/OGM if an unknown non-AVI file is examined.
Shows RIFF INFO (title, etc) if present, including hidden ASCII in the "JUNK" field
Easy to use ("File > Load" and you're done)
Microscopic footprint - download size only 29KB
Free for personal use
The best way to avoid fake files is to use the verified section of our forum.

If you do have a problem playing a file try VideoLan Its a great little freeware player that uses its own internal codecs to decompress video files. Next time you get a file you have problems with try it.

I will have to try this. How it is possible that Videolan can decompress each format.
So I don't need install the codec for viewing a movie, just see it in Videolan.

Your best to start by previewing as you download, using AVI preview or adding Videolan in as a tool for previewing with also. If you can't preview it then theres a good chance its a fake and save your time and bandwidth by cancelling your download.
See HERE how to add Videolan to preview with
