Using the Indeo® Video Palette in Video for Windows*
|
Question: What computers and operating systems can use Indeo®
technology?
|
A video file compressed with the Indeo video Release 3.2 codec can play back on any system that supports QuickTime* for Windows* or QuickTime for Macintosh*. Videos compressed with the Indeo video interactive codec can play on systems that support Video for Windows only. Video clips compressed with the Indeo video codec in the .AVI format can play back in Video for Windows (Windows 95* and Windows 3.x); and video clips compressed with the Indeo video codec in the .MOV format can play back in QuickTime. (See the section entitled "Cross-platform Development Questions" for information on utilities that can convert between these two formats.) In order for a computer to play video compressed with a given codec, that codec must be installed on the computer. |

Question: How can I get Indeo® video?

Indeo video is included in Video for Windows, Windows 95, and on multimedia titles that use Indeo technology. You can also download the latest drivers, as well as sample video files and supporting documentation, from this Indeo video Web site. |

Question: How does the Indeo® video palette work in Video for Windows?
|
When Windows is in 8-bit mode, Indeo video by default asserts its own palette. The Indeo video codec does not use the first and last ten entries, which are reserved for Windows; Indeo video uses the middle 236 only. In active palette mode, Indeo video decodes using the full, 256color palette asserted by the application. |
