I

If the proper codec is not supported in Vista is there anyway in the

I find Indeo in one place and Intel in another and I think they must be

Any other suggestions?

I think I was able to use my old Windows 95 machine to make the file into
something that Vista understands. It might have been possible in XP as well,
but I didn't want to purchase software with it when W95 was able to see the
file just fine.

Did no one at MS think that people may want to still use video clips that
were created in older versions of Windows? I doubt the majority of users
made them so they could scrap them all when they upgrade their OS. It's
about as logical as taking photos and burning the prints when you buy a new
camera. 99.9999999% of videos people make of family and friends only happens
once and can't be recreated each time there is a new OS.

There were a number of third party codecs involved in the main Windows mix
over the years. It may or may not be possible to provide support for third
party codecs over the years.

This is a painful truth, sorry. The Lernout and Hauspie codec is probably
the worst case scenario. =\

That's an interesting read, but it doesn't explain away the fact that MS has
dropped codecs that worked from W95 and XP effectively destoying videos that
cannot be duplicated without a whole lot of effort to find new software to
play them in Vista.

Probably because MS didn't want to pay a license fee. So be it, but at
least give an option for the end-user to spend a few bucks and get the codecs
that are needed, and were dropped from Vista, from a reliable source.

So what does the average Joe do? Oh well, I really didn't want those video
clips from my son's birthday so screw it? Not a nice pill to swallow. It's
as if everyone, when they purchased a digital camera, burned all their old
photo albums because they were "old technology". You'd never do it.

I think you mis understood that AVI is a container(category) of individual
file types one of which is also labeled AVI. Since this is the case if the
creator of the a file type other then AVI that can be contained in the AVI
containter did not provide to Microsoft a decoder that MS could include in

No, I understand perfectly and here is a perfect example of a codec that was
licensed by MS, but then dropped by MS which left people to their own devices
to either find it or "tough luck about your video files" if they used these
in XP.

http://www.ligos.com/index.php/home/products/indeo/

So, this is ONE for sure that I had to buy too get those, but it isn't the
only ones that are missing and it is doubtful I will have the time to
research each one.

So, it isn't just a case of a third party not coming to the table. MS did
its part to exclude codecs as well even when they were available.

Worth a try, but it makes no difference. File still doesn't
play
the
video.

When I try the unistall I get an error that says, "The module
"ir50_32.dll"
was loaded but the call to dllunregisterserver failed with error
code
0x8000ffff". Doesn't sound good. I have a restore point just
before I
tried
this so hopefully that undoes my fix attempt properly.

I ran across this link that I tried to get information from, but
got
nothing
from the company.

Know anything about this?

register the file. If it does cause a problem you could easily
unregister
the file with the command

regsvr32 /u ir50_32.dll

If you register the file and it doesn't work or causes a
problem
just
run
the above command in an elevated command prompt. You may have
to
reboot
after registering and unregistering for it to take effect.

What might I expect and is there a way to undo it if problems
arise?
I
don't want to blindly jump into something.

Thanks.

I think this is the codec you need. This should register the
codec
but
it
may cause other problems. There's probably a reason why it's
not
enabled
by
default. To get an elevated command prompt locate Command
Prompt in
All
Programs = Accessories. Right click on it and pick Run as
administrator.

Vista Home Premium and XP Professional.

Your links refer to either MPEG or Divx and my file is
neither.
It
is
an
uncompressed AVI file. It was not done with Divx. More
Information
I
have
found says "Planar ATI YUV9 Indeo". Gspot says that a
codec
is
not
required
which is obviously false since it doesn't display video in
Vista.

If the proper codec is not supported in Vista is there
anyway
in
the
existing XP system, without adding any new software, to
convert
it
to
something Vista understands and still keep it
uncompressed?

Thanks.

You don't mention which version of Vista you have nor

Some codec's require licensing and are not included in
some
versions
of
Vista or XP. One of these codec's will most likely solve
your
problem.
