============================================================================================================= SOME OF THESE FILES MAY BE OS SPECIFIC, I.E IT MAY ONLY RUN ON WINDOWS 95, 98 , NT, 2000, OR WIN7 32BIT I AM ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSSES YOU MAY SUFFER FROM USING THESE CODECS, USE SANDBOXXIE TO BE SAFE ============================================================================================================= You can use VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod (Try to use 32bit as much as you can), or MEncoder/MPlayer to Encode and View the avi's encoded with these codecs. https://managedway.dl.sourceforge.net/project/virtualdubmod/VirtualDubMod/VirtualDubMod%201.5.10.2/VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_2_All_inclusive.zip If VDub doesn't fit your fancy for some reason (Sometimes when you install a codec driver, it wont show up in VDub) you can use MEncoders vfw options like so: mencoder input.mp4 -ovc vfw -xvfwopts codec="/Users/Username/Downloads/igcodec.dll" -nosound -o output.avi mencoder input.mp4 -ovc vfw -xvfwopts codec="/Users/Username/Downloads/OldAndObscureCodecs/Rududu.f i l e s/rududu.dll":compdata=dialog -o output.avi ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v huffyuv -s 1920x1080 -f avi -t 5 -an - | mencoder32 - -ovc vfw -xvfwopts codec="/Users/Username/Desktop/OldAndObscureCodecs/Loss-Less Codec Library(AVImszh + AVIzlib)/LCL223/avizlib.dll" -o output.avi You MUST use forward slashes in your .dll path for some reason like I did above, this does not work: -xvfwopts codec="C:\Users\Username\CodecDirectory\igcodec100\igcodec.dll" If you have trouble loading a codec with an error message like "Can't open library:" or "ICOpen failed! unknown codec / wrong parameters?" try moving the .dll to your Desktop or something and try again. Sometimes whitespace or certain special characters appear to mess with MEncoder. I had trouble adding vfw codecs manually to the MEncoder/MPlayer codecs.conf.in file, but if you can figure it out heres some links: https://www.hellocatfood.com/tag/mencoder/ http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-video-for-windows.html http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/win32-codec-howto.txt http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/codecs.conf.txt ============================================================================================================= Extra Spicy Stuff: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20110131.tar.bz2 ; http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2 https://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-allin1/ <-- havent tested https://github.com/fishman/virtualdub https://astuteinternet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/virtualdub/virtualdub-win/1.10.4.35491/VirtualDub-1.10.4-AMD64.zip https://astuteinternet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/virtualdub/virtualdub-win/1.10.4.35491/VirtualDub-1.10.4.zip This version may be better for Datamoshing?
