Hi folks!

I need help
Does anyone know solution to solve problem with playing video files encoded with iv50 codec?

Actually, i googled several times, but the problem is remains..
Perhaps one of us know how to fix it?

Thanks to all uploader

As far as I know, IV50 isn't available for Vista of Win 7.

You can try to use media player classic, maybe that will work.

Have you tried ? http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Indeo_Codec.htm

Already, still got exactly same error like before, in attach.

The Indeo (IV50) Codec is installed in WIndows 7 - but it's disabled by default from the factory.

To work around that add these registry changes:

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 (with the registry editor) then enter these string values: (Edit > New > String value)

“vidc.iv31”=“ir32_32.dll”
“vidc.iv32”=“ir32_32.dll”
“vidc.iv41”=“ir41_32.ax”
“vidc.iv50”=“ir50_32.dll”

for example for the first string give it a name vidc.iv31 and enter the value of ir32_32.dll

That should work (at least it does on my machine - which is Windows 7 Ultimate x64)

Thank you RabidSquirrel for solution!

But anyway i'm already have this strings in registry and it doesnt work for me
Look at the screenshot, did you mean that way?

Yes that was what I meant. It worked on my machine but as I only have one avi file with the IV50 codec (and i'm not 100% sure that it is IV50 (it says so in VLC but...) so I don't have that much to go on.

The only other option I can think of is using Mplayer (download the complete package from here: http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects#mplayer )
Atleast on Mplayers website it says it has support for Indeo 3, 4.1 and 5.0 - but the question is does these codecs work on Windows 7 x64 ? - because if they don't you're pretty much out of luck I can't see Ligos (the current owner of the IV50 codec) spending much money to make a codec for Windows 7 - I don't think there's much money in it.

If Mplayer doesn't work you might wanna install XP-mode (and Virtual PC) on your windows 7 machine (download link here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx ) - and then installing the codec in the virtual pc. Or you could install VMware Workstation and run Windows XP on top of that (and installing the codec). Both of these ways are almost 100% certain to work but it is a lot of work for some outdated video-files.

Hope some of it helps.

Hi all )
The problem solved by using ACDSee image viewer
No codec needed, no additional manipulation required.

Just try to open iv* coded video file in ACDSee.

Best wishes.
