Video compression types

Depending on the compression method used when the video file was recorded, it may or may not play. If the video file was recorded using the Intel Indeo 2.1 or above compression method, then the file should play on both OS/2 and Windows. If the video file was recorded using an IBM Ultimotion compression method, then the file will not play on Windows unless you have the Ultimotion decompressor for Windows installed, which is available from IBM.
