(Credits to wikipedia article for pointing that out) Indeo 4 and 5 (not 2 nor 3) are two of the rare codecs (commonly used at one time or other) that do not have open-source decoders (in the form of libavcodec) - meaning ffdshow-tryouts and VLC media player can’t decode them. Indeo 5 is commonly chosen as the default codec to capture video by many webcams. IV31, IV32, IV41, and IV50 are probably the only ones you’ll ever encounter. Intel originally reserved the fourcc’s IV30 all the way to IV50 for its Indeo codecs. The various versions of Indeo are not backwards-compatible with each other (like the DivX’s for example) - they are totally different codecs (meaning Indeo 5 can’t decode 3 nor 4, etc.) Fortunately, most installers will bundle the three most relevant versions (3, 4, and 5). Version 5.2 (the latest) is pay and sold by Ligos, and is sometimes called Indeo XP. The last free version of the Indeo installation package is 5.11.

* Additional plugins may be needed for Indeo 4 or 5 playback - see at the end of this post.įor older versions of Mac OS (9 and below), see next post. Play the file with QuickTime Player prior to version 7.5.5 * Purchase it from Ligos ($15) install, and play with Media Player Classic Home Cinemaģ. Type iv5setup.exe or iv5play.exe in your favorite search engine (we have one copy mirrored here) install, and play with Media Player Classic Home CinemaĢ. Windows users should still be able to play such files with Media Player Classic Home Cinema (very compact and similar interface to WMP) if the codec is properly installed.ġ. Quick Update: in the December 2009 updates, Microsoft seems to have disabled Indeo playback (all versions) from Windows Media Player. I’ll update the rest of this post when I have time. New: VLC Media Player 1.1.0 now plays Indeo 5. Posted in Solutions of 3 1 2 3 next › last »
