Searching for a codec. It's fourcc 'IV50'.

When I try to use QuickTime player to watch certain .avi files that were created with a webcam on a Windows PC; the sound works, but the video doesn't.

When I try to view the same file using VLC Player; it errors and says what codec is missing.

I searched for it on Google and found some websites, but no actual codec that is used for playing 'IV50' with QuickTime [7] using OS X.

I'm going to keep looking, but does anyone know where I can find the codec fourcc 'IV50', preferably for free?

Please help.

17" iMac G4, 1GHz PowerPC, 768mb RAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)
