Codec packs are really nothing special. They save your having to locate and download each separately.
Indeo Video is a video codec developed by Intel in 1992. It was sold to Ligos Corporation in. Official Indeo 5 decoders exist for Microsoft Windows, the classic Mac OS, BeOS R5 and the XAnim player on Unix. Versions 2, 3, 4 and 5 have.
- Mar 25, 2006 - The Intel INDEO video format is long discontinued, but still widely used. The Mac version is only compatible with Classic Mac OS. Now that Mac.
- Intel/Ligos Indeo Interactive 5.0 (IV50) Where can I find these CODECS updates for Windows Media Player Version 11 for Windows Vista? Without them, some of my older.avi files will not function or run properly.

For the original posters needs, vlc will work. The original poster wants to watch tv shows he has aquired - the chances of them not playin in vlc are very slim.
Of course i know the benefits of quicktime codecs, and do myself have them all installed. My post was aimed at the original question, vlc (or mplayer) is best for videos aquired from the net. As with everything, its up to personal choice.
Yes VLC player seems to have most codecs but I have had to install some individually into my hard drives library folder in order to get audio. It then works for quicktime and VLC but I have a file at the moment which I cannot remember where I downloaded it from and don't know what codecs it is using. When I use VlC to play this.avi file I get pic and no audio but in Quicktime I get audio and no pic. Used viddyup to convert it for itunes and no pic. Obviously I don't have the right codec but it's wierd that VLC has the picture codec and Quicktime has the audio codec any suggestions.
