"Works as described"
Version: InstalledCodec 1.15
Pros
It opens up, and displays all your codecs...
Cons
...I mean ALL your codecs. I had no idea how many there were. I must have had a list of about 50.
Summary
A great little app if you need to get a detailed look at your codecs. It gives names, descriptions, dates, times, versions, filenames, and everything I could ever imagine a person wanting to know, and all in a very neat, simple format (i.e. spreadsheet).

"PROBLEM SOLVED"
Version: InstalledCodec 1.02
Pros
Got rid of nasty QuickTime message preventing me from viewing videos on Firefox. Now I can access all videos without QuickTime. For good.....
Cons
Absolutely nothing to say against it.

"Of limited usefulness"
Version: InstalledCodec 1.02
Pros
I'll admit I didn't DL this program, so I can't give a fair appraisal.
Cons
I'm going by only what is said in the description.
Summary
There's a much better free program out there: GSpot. If a video won't play, use the "Open With" option and select GSpot. GSpot then examines the file, determines what kind of file it is (it might not actually BE a video), looks for the common integrity faults that would keep it from playing, determines what codec it uses, and reports whether or not that codec is installed.
GSpot is also able to recognize ZIP and RAR compressed files - in that, if someone has renamed a ZIP to AVI, GSpot will TELL you it's a ZIP so you can rename it (and presumably then extract the file(s) inside it). I've actually seen a handful of occasions where I've had to do this.
