Codec IV50

What is codec IV50..?

This is quite a commonly required codec that enables you to view video on your PC.

Intel Corporation developed the original INDEO (INtel viDEO) compression technology
to which codec iv50 belongs.

However, they sold this to a company called Ligos in 2001.

Many games, for instance, still require this codec and Ligos Technology now make a charge for it!

Can I get codec IV50 for FREE?

YES you can!

Ligos Technology still honour previous licensing arrangements of the technology so all you have to do is find a company who will let you download under one of these previous
licenses!

Actually I have done that for you so just point your browser at: codec iv50

(The codec actually comes bundled with a few others, but that is OK. Just download the file and run it.)

Sometimes this link is down! If so try this one: codec-iv50

NB - If you have a version of Windows XP that shipped before service pack 1 was added. Then you should have codec iv50 on your machine. When Microsoft shipped Windows XP with SP1 included the codec iv50 was removed!

If you fancy paying $15.00 for the latest version of the codec for Windows XP then you can get it here: codec iv50

Please note - you install these codec's at your own risk. I offer no warranty or support!

You may have found this article after Windows Media Player gave you a FourCC error message IV50 - Just download codec iv50 using one of the links above and all should be well!
