Unknown AVI codec "pyv5" - need help

[asdbha]

Hello,

I have an AVI video file that won't open in any standard player (VLC media player, Windows Media Player, etc.). The file appears to use an unknown video codec with FOURCC identifier "pyv5".

File info:

Format: AVI

Video codec: pyv5 (FOURCC: 0x35767970)

Size: ~400 MB, 15 minutes

Audio works fine, but video doesn't play

The file was originally playable on another computer, but I don't know which player was used. It seems to be from a surveillance camera or DVR system.

Important note: the files appear to be edited — both video and audio have been modified/spliced together from different recordings.

Has anyone encountered this codec before? Are there any tools or codec packs that support pyv5?

Any help would be appreciated!
