IMM5 Codec AVI file not playing with SM Player

Postby swal » Wed Jan 28, 2015 6:46 am

Hoping someone can shed some light on the following issue I have with a IMM5 security footage (23 secs) I would like to view and also be able to convert to play on any computer. I apologies now for my limited knowledge on this.

I have tried a few versions of the SM Player and all I have been able to see is one quick white flash on the screen. Currently using SM Player Version: 14.9.0 (svn r6699) (64-bit) /
Using Qt 4.8.6 (compiled with Qt 4.8.6) / Using MPlayer SVN r37343 on Windows 7 64 bit.
VLC Player (which doesn't have the IMM5 Codec) indicated the index file was missing - wondering if this is really the issue? I have done a fresh install of SM Player and the latest log file is:

Requested video codec family [imm5] (vfm=vfw) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x354D4D49.


Prior to this today I was receiving this error with portable versions of SM Player but these may have been 32 bit?:
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=imm5
Audio: no sound
Starting playback...
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
ID_SIGNAL=11
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly.


I have tried changing the video output drivers and adding/removing options for the MPlayer/MPV in preferences but am not really sure on what I am doing.

Would appreciated some help.

Many thanks

The 32 bit version may play the file if you copy the file vcmimm5.dll to C:/Program Files/SMPlayer/mplayer/codecs
I'm not sure because I can't find that dll so I can't test myself.

Thanks for the suggestion rvm - much appreciated. I have tried shifting codec folders as suggested but still not luck. The IMM5 codec is listed under the Windows Media Player codecs list so I assume it has been loaded correctly??? Windows Media Player won't play the video either so I am beginning to think it may be the video file with the problem.

The file I am having trouble with is 11.2MB. Would anyone have enough time to see if it plays with their SM Player? Then I will know whether or not its a problem with the way I have set up SM Player.

Many thanks again.
