-<P>TODO</P>
+<P><B>MPlayer</B> can play Vivo (1.0 and 2.0) videos. The most suitable codec
+for this task is XAnim's H263 decoder codec (it supports fast YV12 output), you
+can call it with the <CODE>-vc h263xa</CODE> option. Of course you have to
+compile XAnim codecs support it, for details see the <A HREF=#2.2.1.3>XAnim
+video codecs</A>. If this doesn't work, get the <CODE>ivvideo.dll</CODE> DLL
+file (from <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/drivers32/ivvideo.dll">here</A>),
+and install it under <CODE>/usr/lib/win32</CODE> or wherever you store the
+Win32 codecs. This latter codec doesn't support YV12 nor YUY2 only BGR modes,
+thus usable only with the X11 and OpenGL outputs. Discouraged.</P>
