Would have liked it to have been able to provide info on .ogm and .mkv containers but there are some useful updates including VOB reading and Mpeg (not sure if that wasn't already in there), plus also useful for those people who have DivX players.
anyway here's a summary of the updated features:
● Provides information about MPEG1 or MPEG2 streams (elementary audio or video / MPEG1 system streams / MPEG2 program streams). Limited support for MPEG4 video when contained in an AVI stream, such as DivX5. The current version identifies presence or absence of "B-VOP", "Qpel", and "GMC", thus allowing the user to determine if a DivX5 file is compatible with KISS and other popular hardware DivX players. Full support for MPEG4 stream format (e.g. 3ivX, Nero, QT), to be added shortly.
● Has "codec management" features, including the ability to re-register/un-register codecs, the ability to set each codec's priority ("merit") value and the ability to modify the codec's acceptable types list. No other utility has ever provided those capabilities.
● To help diagnose codec problems, GSpot 2.5 has its own "render" algorithm, independent of Microsoft's. This is accompanied by small test monitor so the results can actually be tested out.
read more about it and download from here (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/gspot25features.html), it doesn't use an installer anymore, its just a standalone .exe file but requires the accompanying dat file too.
