iv50 pcm?

[dinofava]

I cant play avi file right (no picture) because i dont have right decompressor and it says it's IV50 PCM. what is that? codec? where can I get it?

IV50 stands for Indeo Video version 5.0. Indeo was a subdivision of Intel and was bought by Ligos a few years back and vanished into thin air. Normally this codec is installed as a standard Windows item, but here is a link to a download version of IV 5.11. (This is so new it is only supported by processors with MMX technology!! :P )

he may have need for the Indeo XP package and/or 5.2 , both of which are not free

[jagabo]

Indeo 5.10 comes with XP SP2 according to your post.
