I don’t think there’s “tools” to compare codec because often times comparison/evaluation is a subjective task. You can look at web pages that review codecs though. Here’s a few

Here’s a slightly “different” page, since it reviews quicktime codecs rather than windows ones.

This likely wasn’t a very satisfactory answer. You were looking for criteria. Here’s a better link
