How to read Indeo 5 files with Matlab 2013b under Win7?

4 views (last 30 days)
After migrating to Win 7 and to matlab R2013b I cannot read old files with the Indeo 5 Codec anymore . I reintalled the Codec and all viewers can read it now. But not matlab. This is irritatting since Matlab was the reason for choosing the Codec, because it was one of the few codecs that were supported. The older Versiosn under XP are still producing Indeo5 . so we are not compatibel !!
Can you give me a hint : for this info = mmfileinfo([videofile,'*.avi']); mov = mmreader ([videofile,'*.avi']);
I get this Could not open the file for reading. Permission denied.
regards
Felix

Felix's "Answer" moved here:
So all files produced in the past are not readable anymore for matlab win7-64 bit?
Is there no workarround except reformating all old files?
That is not impressive?

Not just MATLAB but any Windows 7 apps, since the product has basically died off. It's not MATLAB's fault. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeo
Use an old system and convert your videos to a more modern format.

Yes! But it does not matter who else is doing this or that. For a long time Indeo was one of the few Codecs that matlab could use. That is why we have been using it. We have ton s of data and still procedures that produce more Indeo 5 avis. We are bit lost now. Is there no work around to read into matlab otehr than keep an old machine running and convertign it there?? After all this are just bits. Ergo there is way to convert. Even within Maltab I suppose.
