I was just running F1 99 on PC, and whilst the game launches fine (intro video is Indeo 3.2 or something ancient), the track preview videos don't display (as use Indeo 5.1) and the error message that they can't be played is crashing the game (whether using native D3D or dgVoodoo2 DX wrapper). This must be a recent change to Win10, as it was working a few months ago!
Anyway I had the crazy idea to re-author the videos as either ancient Indeo 3.2 or maybe something newer (has to be .avi) but I'm not sure what software to use. Adobe Media Encoder won't load the Indeo 5 videos.
I read online about re-activating the Indeo 5 codec using a regsrvr command, but that just throws an error now.
Any ideas about what I can use to re-author the videos? Or any way to get Indeo 5.1 to work in latest Win10? The game works fine, but you can't choose a circuit to race at!
