I have been sent a video clip, apparently in *.viv format.

How can I play this? Are there codecs which can be used with existing
players, or does it require something dedicated?

Also, I have an .avi which fails to play, with the error:

        "... could not find vids:mp42 ..."

I have found a page which says:

        MP42 is the four character code for the Microsoft MPEG-4 Video
        Codec Version 2 (MPG4 is the four character code for Microsoft
        MPEG-4 Video Codec Version 1).  This codec is included in the
        Windows Media Tools, formerly NetShow Tools, available, as of
        October 25, 1999, at
        >http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/>

but that URL contains nothing which seems to help. Any suggestions?
