Though Indeo saw significant usage in the mid-1990s, it remained proprietary.
Intel slowed development and stopped active marketing, and it was quickly
surpassed in popularity by the rise of MPEG codecs and others, as processors
became more powerful and its optimization for Intel's chips less important.
Indeo still sees some use in video game cutscene videos.

Official Indeo 5 decoders exist for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS Classic, BeOS R5
and the XAnim player on Unix. Versions 2 and 3 have decoders in FFmpeg. Indeo
version 3, 4 and 5 are supported by MPlayer and XAnim. Version 5.11 is freeware
and may be used on all 32-bit versions of Windows prior to Vista. Version 5.2
has been created for XP and is available to buy from the official website[4]
for use only with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. This includes support
for Indeo Video 4.5 and Indeo Audio 2.5 codecs but the version 3.2 video codec
has been removed since the original release of Indeo XP for Windows. Indeo is
not supported and is not compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 or
any Windows 64-bit operating system.

There is no codec pack for gstreamer that is able to view this type of file.
vlc/ffmpeg displays an error when trying to play this type of file.

totem->gstramer->no codec->gnome-app-install gives the following error after
looking for a codec:

No packages with the requested plugins found
The requested plugins are:
Intel Indeo 5 decoder

Example Media:
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/IV50/indeo50.avi

Current result:
Only audio plays. Video is not displayed.

Expected result:
Plays both audio and video in sync. If codec is not installed, suggest proper
package. Expect codec to be supported.

This bug was create to request IV50 to be supported by gstreamer. If this is
not possible due to legal issues or other roadblocks, please define what the
issue is with supporting this codec.

Tested on:
i386, Ubuntu Desktop 9.10, Linux 2.6.31-15
