Is there a program that shows you what codecs an avi/mpg/etc. is using?

Being on Linux, I don't have to worry about 3rd party tools for that. 'file' will do it just fine:

$ file saturday.night.live.presidential.bash.2004.pdtv-lol.avi
saturday.night.live.presidential.bash.2004.pdtv-lol.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 512 x 384, 29.97 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)

Seconded

Thirded.

all in favor

Hehe, I hear good things about Gspot, but personally, since I use Virtual Dub so much anyway, I find it easier & faster to just open a file using that and click on file -> file information.
