this also works in Windows 7. Windows Media Player plays with no problem after making reg entries

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
“vidc.iv31”=“ir32_32.dll”
“vidc.iv32”=“ir32_32.dll”
“vidc.iv41”=“ir41_32.ax”
“vidc.iv50”=“ir50_32.dll”

I have been sitting at this computer for 3 hours trying to get my old logitech webcam videos to work. I have downloaded countless programs and codec packs and NONE have worked. This simple edit did! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thank you very much.

You have navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 then add a New String (Edit > New > String value).
Give it a name of vidc.iv50 for example, then press return on the string and give it a value of ir50_32.dll

worked ine in vista for IV4 for myself.

Key Master - An elegantly simple and superb solution.
Saved from trial and error codec installs and all the lovely stuff that comes with them.

Thank you

Great post,

But do copy your video to a local hard disk. Playing from a mounted network drive didn’t work for me.

That note about nobody wanting to stream AVI files got me triggered: many of us will want to stream from a fast network location, yet that might not work even if you do mount a drive letter first...

Thanks Very Much for the info.

Can now watch my old video clips instead of listerning to them.

Rgds.

If you’re going to get one of the older free versions of Indeo on the net, you may be concerned about viruses because it’s an executable. Here’s a list of some known versions of Indeo and their sizes in bytes so you can cross-check (and put your mind at ease).
Most of these packages will contain versions 3, 4, and 5 of Indeo in them, and despite what anyone says, will work on most Windows systems (even XP and Vista ones).

filename______size_______version
indeo.exe_____786,944___5.03
iv5play.exe___823,808____5.06
codinstl.exe___1,860,416__5.07 (also includes i.263)
iv5setup.exe__1,946,377__5.10
iv5setup.exe__1,964,075__5.11 (Intel)
iv5setup.exe__2,068,266__5.11 (switched over to Ligos)

P.S: Sorry about the underscores... tabs don’t seem implemented.
