The original name of this codec was CompactVideo,
which is why its FourCC identifier is "CVID".
It was the primary video codec of early versions of
QuickTime and Microsoft Video for Windows, but was later superseded
by Sorenson Video, Intel Indeo, and most recently MPEG-4 and H.264.
However, movies compressed with Cinepak are generally still playable
in most media players... including Windows Media Player.
