Default Codec Utility...
After supporting users with their Digital Media problems for a long time I decided to write a small utility that would scan a users PC for installed Audio and Video Codecs...

Then they could just email the text file created, or post in a forum for help...

I know there are already some utilities out there but I wanted one that would NOT install any files and was extremely small.

Here it is:

I call it SHERLOCK the Codec Detective!

30,000+ downloads so far....

I won't install third party codecs, they bugger up applications like movie maker and wmp10.

XP_Codec_Pack_1.0.1<--caused a heap of problems.

Been using this for awhile, very cool and you can enable/disable at will. Small? Can't get much smaller (15KB).
