it may be time to recode the videos and slipstream the code to play it into the executable (different dll?). the reason win 7/8 abandoned it was because the indeo codec is riddled with exploits. microsoft effectivly banned them
Any video file that plays in WMP should work for OP2, actually, as long as the required codec is installed... but transcoding from one lossy codec to another is awful.
I had Indeo working fine under Windows 7 since... it was released.
He meant as to why it wasn't included by default.
@Hidiot: Sorry, I am just very much used to everyone I know hating on Windows 8 without ever having used it because someone on the internet told them to. Personally, I love it.
Worst desktop UI ever conceived. Not even the recent versions of Ubuntu are that bad. It gets even more annoying for multi-monitor users; in previous versions of Windows, if you have a fullscreen window on your main monitor, you can still bring up the task bar by clicking anywhere on the other monitors, but there is no task bar in Windows 8 and so this doesn't happen, which is a massive inconvenience. Plus, read any of the bazillion reports about Windows 8 not selling nearly as much as it was supposed to, OEMs having lackluster sales for Windows 8 PCs, etc. and the only conclusion that can be drawn about it is that it's the sequel to Windows ME. Add that to the XBone total PR clusterf*** and what looks to be a pretty fail leadership restructuring, Ballmer clearly has no idea what he's doing and will run MS into the ground. Who knows, maybe Bill Gates will come back to save his company.
