Determining proper codec

[earthcitizen]

I usually have no problem playing x264 files, but I have a few DVDs I ripped a while ago that won't seem to play under gbpvr. They play fine in vlc.

I have run them through graphedit and no suitable filters were found.

The files are all ac3 5.1

I have cccp, ffdshow.

Is there any tool I can use to determine what codec is needed?

thanks

GSpot is good...

Weird. Gspot just says

file type: unknown
Mime type: unknown

this file still plays fine in VLC.

MediaInfo might tell you how your file is made up, but I don't think it will specifically tell you what codecs to use.

VLC uses it's own internal filter graphs unlike gbpvr which uses directshow...

check the 'stream and media info' window inside vlc..may give some info..
