Though Indeo saw significant usage in the mid-1990s, it remained proprietary. Intel slowed development and stopped active marketing, and it was quickly surpassed in popularity by the rise of MPEG codecs and others, as processors became more powerful and its optimization for Intel's chips less important. Indeo still sees some use in video game cutscene videos.
Official Indeo 5 decoders exist for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS Classic, BeOS R5 and the XAnim player on Unix. Versions 2 and 3 have decoders in FFmpeg. Indeo version 3, 4 and 5 are supported by MPlayer and XAnim. Version 5.11 is freeware and may be used on all 32-bit versions of Windows prior to Vista. Version 5.2 has been created for XP and is available to buy from the official website for use only with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. This includes support for Indeo Video 4.5 and Indeo Audio 2.5 codecs but the version 3.2 video codec has been removed since the original release of Indeo XP for Windows. Indeo is not supported and is not compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 or any Windows 64-bit operating system.
There is no codec pack for gstreamer that is able to view this type of file. vlc/ffmpeg displays an error when trying to play this type of file.

No packages with the requested plugins found
The requested plugins are:
Intel Indeo 5 decoder
VLC reports the following error when opening the video:
No suitable decoder module:VLC does not support the audio or video format "IV50". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Example Media:

Current result:
Only audio plays. Video is not displayed.
Expected result:
Plays both audio and video in sync. If codec is not installed, suggest proper package. Expect codec to be supported.
This bug was create to request IV50 and IV41 to be supported by gstreamer and ffmpeg. If this is not possible due to legal issues or other roadblocks, please define what the issue is with supporting this codec.
Tested on:
i386, Ubuntu Desktop 9.10, Linux 2.6.31-15

The last free version of the Indeo installation package is 5.11. Version 5.2 (the latest) is pay and sold by Ligos, and is sometimes called Indeo XP.
The various versions of Indeo are not backwards-
Intel originally reserved the fourcc’s IV30 all the way to IV50 for its Indeo codecs. IV31, IV32, IV41, and IV50 are probably the only ones you’ll ever encounter. (IV probably stands for Indeo Video.)
Indeo 5 is commonly chosen as the default codec to capture video by many webcams.
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 4 and 5 (and maybe 3 too) are cross-platform (can be in avi or quicktime container). Provided the codecs are properly installed, both QuickTime Player and Windows Media Player can play Indeo in either container.

Are there any instructions out there for manually installing the codecs from the win/mac installer on linux?
