If you're brave, you can also check out the Ultimotion codec from IBM.
It was its answer to Microsoft's Video for Windows or AVI, so to say.
Ultimotion was designed to be of high quality and to be played back purely through software.
OS/2 Warp supported it very well without any stuttering.
However, there's also a codec for Windows 3.1 -pardon- Win-OS/2 available (um4win.zip).

Edit: Found a player for the Amiga platform. Still looking for an encoder, though.

Edit: Found a bit of information. In the 90s, IBM's "Ultimedia" and "Video In" could be used to create Ultimotion videos.
Also, converting Indeo to Ultimotion was an option.
Edit:
The next big enhancement to MMPM/2 will be additional Software Motion Video capture device drivers.
Video IN/2 supports a wide range of video capture cards, including: IBM Video Capture Adapter/A (MC);
Jovian Logic SuperVia, and QuickVia (MC and ISA); Sigma Designs WinMovie (ISA);
Creative Labs Video Blaster (ISA); New Media Graphics Super Video Windows (MC and ISA);
and Samsung Electronics Ltd. Video Magic (ISA).
The following video capture adapters are being considered:
Videologic Tiger, Supermac Video Spigot, Media Vision Pro Movie Studio, Intel Smart Video Recorder,
Creative Labs Video Blaster 2, and IBM Action Media II.
The addition of these video capture adapters will round out the video capture support on OS/2.

Edit: This one seems promising.
The OS/2 2.1 MMPM/2-based applications that provide video support are:
Digital Video Player
Video In Recorder
AVI File Utility
Ultimedia Builder/2
Ultimedia Perfect Image/2
