Hi crews,
I want to propose a solution for the well-known problem with Indeo codecs. Details here: http://www.ligos.com/index.php/home/support/indeosupport/
There is a bunch of (old) games still using indeo in their cut scenes. For that reason the installation of the Intel DLLs is required. Unfortunately, old indeo codecs prior the version 5 contain bugs and their support has been discontinued for years. Moreover, Microsoft has disabled indeo in the latest OSes due to security issues.
I volunteer myself to create an open-source bult-in replacement for indeo v3,4 and 5 based on my patches for ffmpeg. The code will be reworked in order to remove ffmpeg/libav library dependencies. Only decoding will be implemented. Encoding would require a huge amount of time and it doesn't worth it...
Would be such a patch appreciated?
Best regards Maxim Poliakovski
