<P>They are video codec family number 10, so you may want to use <CODE>-vfm 10</CODE>
option to tell <B>MPlayer</B> to use them if possible.</P>

<P>This is a very old and very bad codec of Microsoft. In the past it was
decoded with the <CODE>msvidc32.dll</CODE> Win32 codec, now we have our own
open-source implementation (by <A HREF="mailto:[e-mail]">Mike

<P><B><A NAME=2.2.1.7>2.2.1.7.  Cinepak CVID</A></B></P>

<P>The best way to view Cinepak videos with <B>MPlayer</B>, is using
the XAnim codec <CODE>vid_cvid.xa</CODE>, because it supports YV12, YUY2
outputs, in contrary to the Win32 codec which supports only RGB.</P>
