Intel Indeo 3.2 codec

In the repositories, I find file ir32_32.dll (which AFAIK is the Indeo 3.2
video codec), but there is no component that includes it.

The dll isn't self-registering, so it will probably need an INF file.

Has anyone ever got it to work?

Found it: it is missing in the "Video for Windows Core" component.

There seem to be two related files: iyuv_32.dll and ir32_32.dll (for YUV
and RGB respectively?), iyuv_32 is included by "Video for Windows Core",
ir32_32 isn't.


Just include the DLL in system32, and add these two registry values:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

REG_SZ vidc.iv31 = "ir32_32.dll"
REG_SZ vidc.iv32 = "ir32_32.dll"


You can optionally also add (not necessary for it to work):

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc

REG_SZ ir32_32.dll = "Indeo® video R3.2 by Intel"
 
Lucvdv,

You have already figured this out by yourself but jsut for the record :-)

From XPe SP2 Rel.Notes:

" Windows Media Player 9.0 components lack support for playback of .avi files that use the Indeo 3 codec. If this capability is
required, see the following steps to resolve the issue:
1.. Add ir32_32.dll to Windows\system32
2.. Add the following REG_SZ values to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 registry
entry:
vidc.iv31=ir32_32.dll

vidc.iv32=ir32_32.dll "
