Through the 1990s the Intel Indeo codec was very popular, many computer video games and other software utilized it to encode their videos and audio. Indeo seems to be a blend, more precisely a portmanteau, of «Intel Video».
Originally the Indeo codecs were developed by the Intel Architecture Labs since 1992. It was one of the first codecs without a need of hardware acceleration. The version history goes from Intel Indeo version 2 (IR21), 3 (IV31 and IV32), 4 (IV4 and IV41) to 5 (IV50 and IV51). As of June 27, 2000, Ligos Technology acquired the rights to Intel Indeo media software.

Ligos later provided Indeo video version 5.2 called «Indeo XP for Windows» as payware with the following new features:
- Optimization of the Indeo Video 5 scalability feature
- A wavelet compression algorithm that improves visual quality over previous versions of Indeo
- Better compression at all levels of video quality than previous generation codecs
- Playback performance enhancements including smoother, interpolated «zoom by 2» playback
- Indeo XP also includes the legacy codecs Indeo Video 3.2, Indeo Video 4.5, and Indeo Audio 2.5
- For all Windows OS from Windows 95 to Windows XP
In January 2007 Ligos released a new package called «Ligos Indeo Codecs», which is also payware. It includes Indeo video codec 5.2, Indeo video codec 4.5 and Indeo audio decoder 2.5. Indeo video 3.2 support was dropped and «Indeo XP for Windows» wasn’t available anymore.
As of the beginning of 2020, the website of Ligos Corporation went offline and the package «Ligos Indeo Codecs» isn’t available anymore. For historic reasons view the website via archive.org: Ligos Indeo Codecs.

Not developed anymore since 2004, this codec might be obsolete for some or still necessary for others.
Ligos Indeo Codec is useful, above all, for gamers.
It was one of the first codecs that allowed full-speed playback without any need for hardware acceleration. The codec was mainly targeted at video games developers.
Its popularity declined after the MPEG codec gained popularity, but Ligos was still necessary for cutscene videos in games.
You can use Ligos Indeo Codec if your computer runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, NT and 2000.
The last version of Ligos Indeo Codec (5.11) offered features such as an wavelet compression algorithm for better image quality, playback performance enhancements for Pentium II processor, including smoother, interpolated «zoom by 2» playback on processors with MMX technology, better compression at all levels of video quality than previous generation codecs, Indeo video version 5.11 supports encoding with Microsoft DirectShow and progressive download.
The last feature is enabled in Microsoft DirectShow architecture and supported by Internet Explorer 4.0 or above; it offers support for high-quality scalable video for the Internet and intranets.
As for the audio part, Ligos Indeo Codec offers 8:1 compression, support for Standard Multimedia Sample Rates and Support for Stereo and Mono.
This video codec originally developed by Intel does not support the 3.x video codec anymore, though.
Once a successful codec, Ligos Indeo Codec has not been developed anymore for years. It is definitely uncommon for average users to need this codec, but there might be some developers who still need it for some reason, so it continues to be available.
IMPORTANT!
— Indeo XP for Windows includes Indeo Video version 5.2 and Indeo Audio 2.5 and is available for purchase and download through Ligos Corporation website.
