<P><B><A NAME=2.2.1.4>2.2.1.4.  VIVO video</A></B></P>

<P><B>MPlayer</B> can play Vivo (1.0 and 2.0) videos. The most suitable codec
for 1.0 files is FFmpeg's H263 decoder, you can use it with the <CODE>-vc
ffh263</CODE> option (you'll need the newest libavcodec !). For 2.0 files, use
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 in, 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>


<P><B><A NAME=2.2.1.5>2.2.1.5.  MPEG 1/2 video</A></B></P>

<P>MPEG1 and MPEG2 are decoded with the native library <B>libmpeg2</B>.
