Okay, so I have a great big archive of [strike]porn[/strike] old video captures I've found on one of my aunt's CDs.
The thing is, there's nothing I have that can run them, yet I'm expected to figure out which family etc. is in them. VLC just shows silent, garish static, QuickTime alternates between saying it needs a special compressor and just showing black, and nothing else recognises them. I'm waaaay out of my depth.
Is there any way at all that I can find out what the files need and get the right versions/codecs instead of having to experiment with dozens? I already have DivX, XVid, ZyGo... tons of the things.
Or is the correct response in this situation "beats me" and wash my hands of it? :P

If they're AVIs, GSpot (lol, given the porn strikeout) will do it, and it's free

Anything else, snag yourself a copy of VirtualDUB (also free), open the file, and see if it errors out saying "Filter for FourCC type ABCD not found" - then google the FourCC code and see what pops up.
And then share your porn.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
I recommend GSpot as well. Works on more than AVIs when I tried it.
Thanks for the help people!
.mov file has = QuickTime for quite a while now. Try installing QT, or if you hate Apple with a passion, QT Alternative.
