Do you work with video files, and you need to know absolutely all the information about each one of them; for example, the compression format? Then you need to install Gspot on your Windows computer. It is an indispensable tool that will give you, in seconds, all the details about the video and audio encoding of the file to analyze them.

Although it is software that was last updated almost a decade ago, and since then has had changes, this simple program continues in force for its simple and efficient operation. Select the video file you want to know codecs, ratio, duration, frames, Kbps, format, and stream to obtain a complete tab with each of these paragraphs, making it extremely easy to interpret.

In fact, for a better reading of each of these data, the interface is divided into six well-differentiated sections, namely the following:

• File information

• Video Format

• Audio Format

• Type of stream, metadata

• Render DirectShow

This way, you can instantly compare more than one file to find their differences and understand why one is better than another, weighs more, etc.

What formats does Gspot work with? With most of the usual ones when we speak about video files. We can mention in the first instance the AVI, MPG, and VOB, but also others such as MOV, MP4, or WMV format. Even in their latest updates, support was added for FLV. That is, you can analyze virtually all your video files by just selecting them from the folder in which you have stored them and uploading them to the program.

According to its creators, this software can offer information about the compression formats of up to 719 214 video and audio files. In this way, the chances of a video going through this program and not getting the data we are looking for are tiny. On the other hand, there have been major developments in the video formats from their latest updates, which is an advantage.

Once you have obtained all the data about codecs and other videos, you will be able to solve the problems of reproduction and file coding that sometimes affect this type of content. So this program is then transformed into a perfect partner for users who want to carry out all kinds of subsequent actions with their video files, such as those who have to work on their edition.

If for some reason, you cannot play a video stored on your computer with the programs you have installed, Gspot will also provide you with information about the necessary codecs to view and hear any of these contents correctly. You'll never have to download codec by codec up to the codec is missing. This way, it replaces the programs responsible for providing only that information.

This software is perfectly compatible with most operating system versions of Windows computers, in addition to operating indistinctly in 32 or 64 bits. However, you cannot install it on other operating systems. Another point in favor is that it is a service whose weight is minimal since it can be downloaded in seconds, and it barely consumes system resources when we are using it.

And how much does Gspot cost? Nothing. This is free software, not a trial version or an alternative cut from the original program. The download of this tool allows you to access all its functions as it has been developed. In addition, it is not necessary to register or download other complementary programs, nor is there any other obligation associated with using the software, unlike other similar platforms.

On the other hand, since it does not require installation (it is portable), you can download it and use it on another computer in just a few seconds. And since it does not contain spyware or malware, you will have no problem downloading it on a third-party computer if necessary. You have to try it once, and you will love a program that fulfills what it promises, without great aesthetic virtues but with an enviable speed and efficiency.

You can also do so if you need to export the complete information file from the K-Lite Codec Pack. This program has an export system of all data about each video file so that you can easily send them between your networks and applications, such as to a third party if you may need to be held accountable.

Finally, it is worth noting that this application has not given any inconvenience at the time of unloading or during its execution. The program is stable in responding to user requests.

In summary, Gspot is recommended for its utility, simplicity of general use, scarce system resources it consumes, and the possibility to export all the data for each video file analyzed automatically.
