Codec Imm4
As part of a legal matter, I received a copy of a security video encoded using what appears to be an 'IMM5' codec, apparently often used by police. I also received a copy of 'BackupPlayer', which can play this video. Note that no media player I have installed, including VLC, is able to play it. IMM5 does not show up in the standard codec packs, and Google searches are surprisingly fruitless. I would very much like to transcode this into a more common format, as it contains a deeply important moment, and I want the option of viewing this video for decades to come.
IMM4 VCM Codec. The most popular version of this product among our users is 1.0. The name of the program executable file is CodecTweakTool.exe. The product will soon be reviewed by our informers.
Callstation 5.5.2 serial. Handbrake is unable to handle the file, presumably because I do not have the IMM5 codec installed. Anyone have any pointers? If all else fails, you can try Virtualdub: It offers the option to export to a series of BMP files, which you can then stitch together using a more common codec. Did some googling, and IMM5 seems like a pretty obscure format, possibly without open-source implementation, too. How about (and this is really the last option) using a desktop recorder tool (Fraps, VLC - yes, it can do that too.) and recording the video as it plays in that 'BackupPlayer'? Since it's CCTV footage, it's probably low-resolution and framerate anyway, so you shouldn't have any noticable quality loss when doing that. This obscure format seems to be produced by a number of DVRs that use the Infinity encoding chip.

The references that I have found relate to the IMM4 codec, but may still be worth trying. The article describes how the author converted IMM4 video to other formats, so my advice is to read it carefully. The codec was found to reside in VCMIMM4.dll, which would still probably need to be registered with regsvr32.

Counts IMM4 among its and may install the codec, as also explained in the above article. I have found a download on the cctvone.com website that seems to have an installation file for the IMM4 codec, found and again. I have no personal experience with that website. There may also be some connection between the IMM codec family and the, so you might try installing that as well.
