初学者：如何查找播放任何媒体文件所需的编解码器

There must have been an occasion when you launched a video and got sound but no picture. The most likely cause is that you never had the correct codec installed, so here’s how to find out exactly which codec is needed to play any media file.

当您启动视频并听到声音但没有图片时，肯定有一次机会。 最可能的原因是您从未安装正确的编解码器，因此这是确切找出播放任何媒体文件所需的编解码器的方法。

查找编解码器 (Finding the Codec)

Head over to the developer’s website and grab a copy of CodecInstaller (full package).

前往开发者的网站并获取CodecInstaller(完整软件包)的副本。

Once downloaded, launch it and run through the install wizard.

下载后，启动它并通过安装向导运行。

Once you have it installed, launch it from the shortcut on your desktop, then click on the analyze file button.

安装完成后，从桌面上的快捷方式启动它，然后单击分析文件按钮。

Now you will need to select a file, once selected, you will be given a fairly detailed break down of the file. It looks like the file I chose is encoded with the FLAC codec.

现在，您将需要选择一个文件，选择后，将为您提供相当详细的文件细分。 看来我选择的文件已用FLAC编解码器编码。

A quick Google search takes us directly to the download page where i can grab a copy of the FLAC codec.

快速的Google搜索将我们直接带到下载页面，在这里我可以获取FLAC编解码器的副本。

Of course you could always use VLC, but for those more conscious about what gets installed on their PC’s, this is a great alternative.

当然，您始终可以使用VLC ，但是对于那些对自己的PC上安装了什么产品有更多了解的人来说，这是一个不错的选择。
