I ran across some videos from a client that we needed to use in a deposition that would not play in VLC. I got an IMM5 CODEC error. I can't find any information just about anywhere on that CODEC (plenty on IMM4), and I'm wondering if there is such a thing for VLC.
I ended up using the Windows Media Player in WIN10 Pro and turning on captions, as we needed the date/time stamp to display but would like to be able to count on VLC in the future because this would not play in WIN 11 native apps.

Re: IMM5 CODEC
It seems to be a codec made by GeoVision which is used in CCTV surveillance cameras and which is not supported by VLC (yet ?).
You can upload a short sample of your original problematic file to Zippyshare.com or to WeTransfer.com and then post the link to the file here, so the devs can have a look at it:
https://www.zippyshare.com
https://wetransfer.com
200 MB max should be enough.
