Video clips aren't
working
What: Some computers
will not play the video clips from the CD-ROM.
Why: The computer
does not have the instructions for decoding this type of
clip. The instructions must be downloaded.
How: Follow these
step-by-step instructions:
To run the video clips you need to have the Indeo Video 5.1 CODEC software on your PC. This software has been available free with Windows up until the very latest version of Windows XP. So the video clips should run without any problem on 90% of PCs. However, if the video clips do not run and you think that you do not have this software on your PC then there are various options.
1. You could view the video clips on another PC, as most PCs have the appropriate software.
To race through the video clips, go the index page and visit those pages marked with (V).
2. You can visit http://www.ligos.com/indeo.htm, where Indeo Video 5.2 can be bought and
downloaded for $14.95. This is a new version, as the old free version 5.1 is no longer
available from ligos.com
3. You can try and find a free download of Indeo Video 5.1. For example,
http://www.timtaylor.net/codec.htm
offers the file indeo511.exe. The size of the file is 364kB, so it will not take long to
download. The file is a self-extracting file, which installs the CODEC where it is
supposed to be installed. Please note, that it is your responsibility to check the
source of any software that you download and we cannot take any responsibility for a
any consequences.
