Description Jon Dufresne 2007-04-10 23:28:53 UTC 
I dug up a video from my youth. I encoded it using some windows software about 6-8 years ago. Unfortunately this is all I can remember about it.

I found it recently and am unable to play it using gstreamer using totem. This is with core, good, bad, ugly, and ffmpeg installed.

A link to the video is here:

It's Indeo 5.0, which is not supported by any open source codec that I know of.  You might have luck with pitfdll and the DLL codec.
Comment 2 Jon Dufresne 2007-04-10 23:55:33 UTC 
Why is this "NOTABUG"?

True this can't be played with any open source codec, but shouldn't it be considered a bug for that reason?
Comment 3 René Stadler 2007-04-10 23:59:54 UTC 
Plays fine using pitfdll (dshowdec_ir50_32v50 element) in conjuction with the usual MPlayer w32codecs pack.
Comment 4 David Schleef 2007-04-11 00:19:41 UTC 
It's NOTABUG because lacking a feature is not a bug.  We only track feature requests that are likely to be completed by someone in the GStreamer community.  Reverse engineering and reimplementing the Indeo-5.0 codec, if it happens, is likely to be done by ffmpeg people.  If ffmpeg had a semi-working implementation, we'd probably keep the bug open and retitle it "update ffmpeg snapshot to get Indeo-5.0 codec".
