Its a good tool.. it hasn't been updated in a long time, but really it doesn't need to be. It says what it does, and does what it says in a small package.

What is GSpot?

GSpot is a Windows-based freeware designed to identify codecs used in video files. In addition, the application checks if the required DirectShow filters or Video for Windows codecs are installed and configured for proper playback. While originally created to support AVI, it was expanded to include full support for Ogg and limited support for other commercial container formats, including versions of MPEG, QuickTime movie, and Windows Media Video.
