Intel Indeo R5 1 Codechef

• Intel Indeo Video

Contents.DetailsDuring the development of what became the microprocessor,Intel's implementedone of the first, and at the time highest-quality, software-onlyvideo codecs, which was marketed as 'Indeo Video'. At its publicintroduction, it was the only video codec supported in both the and 's software environments, as well asby IBM's software systems of the day.The original Indeo codec was highly asymmetrical,meaning that it took much more computation to encode avideo stream than to decode it. Intel's ProShare video conferencingsystem took advantage of this, using hardware acceleration toencode the stream (and thus requiring an add-in card), but allowingthe stream to be displayed on any personal computer.Intel produced several different versions of the codec between1993 and 2000, when it was sold to Ligos, based on very differentunderlying mathematics and having different features.

IndeoVideo Interactive, a wavelet-based codec that includednovel features such as transparency and hot spotsupport, was aimed at video game developers.Though Indeo saw significant usage in the mid-1990s, it remained. Intelslowed development and stopped active marketing, and it was quicklysurpassed in popularity by the rise of codecs and others, as processorsbecame more powerful and its optimization for Intel's chips lessimportant. Indeo still sees some use in videos.Official Indeo 5 decoders exist for, and the XAnim player on. Versions 2 and 3 have decoders in. Indeo version 3, 4 and 5are supported by and XAnim.Version 5.11 is and may be usedon all 32-bit versions of Windows prior to Vista. Version 5.2 hasbeen created for XP and is available to buy from the officialwebsite for use onlywith Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. This includes support forIndeo Video 4.5 and Indeo Audio 2.5 codecs but the version 3.2video codec has been removed since the original release of Indeo XPfor Windows.

Indeo is not supported and is not compatible withMicrosoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 or any Windows 64-bit operatingsystem. SecurityadvisoryThe Indeo codec contains several security vulnerabilities andone shouldn't play Indeo videos from untrusted sources. On fullypatched systems the Indeo codec is disabled in most circumstances;there are no plans to fix the vulnerabilities.
