An interesting problem - does a solution exist?

[darknite999]

This is a windows-based question and a solution for any windows o/s xp and above will do fine.

Ok, so you know video files need audio/video codecs to play correctly. For example, DivX, Xvid, and so on. All of these video files have the .avi extension.

So my question is as follows; is there any way to order many video files (100 plus) by codec type?

Believe it or not, computers are my life, i have been fixing and messing around with computers ever since I was small. This is the first time i've ever used a forum like this XD I can usually find the answers to my own questions but this is buging me!

Anyway, this seemed like an easy solution, simply order it like you want anything in a folder; set it to details view and click the tag title for video or audio codec at the top. Such tag does not exist

Thanks.

if your asking how to group say all of the DivX and such together its should be easy under 7 or Vista.
Just go to the video folder, and type your codec type in the search box. it will find them all for you. then just do what you want with them.
