2.2.1.4. VIVO video

TODO

+

MPlayer 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 -vc h263xa option. Of course you have to +compile XAnim codecs support it, for details see the XAnim +video codecs. If this doesn't work, get the ivvideo.dll DLL +file (from here), +and install it under /usr/lib/win32 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.

Be sure to read the VIVO audio codec section too!

    MPlayer happily demuxes VIVO file formats. This code is new, and +is possibly buggy, no seeking yet. See the VIVO video codec +and VIVO audio codec sections for installation +instructions.
