I am using a computer to render video and I am convinced that I don't have good enough codecs on it.
I'm not sure:
a) which ones I have exactly
b) where to get really good ones
c) how to produce an Mpeg2 quality video that plays on most computers/players

I ran a free program called Gspot to identify my codecs.
Does anyone have an idea if I'm using a below-standard codec?

Thanks!
