Codec -- Intel Music Coder 0x0401

I have an old AVI file that opens in WMP 11.0.6001.7000, but which won't play
audio. The video is fine. Using GSpot, I found that in order to play audio
the file requires a codec that isn't installed (Intel Music Coder 0x0401).
However, I can't find the codec on the Intel site. I anticipate it is now
unsupported by Intel, which makes me nervous that some fringe "third-party"
solution might be risky.

Windows Media Center won't even play the video! I've also tried Roxio,
Quicktime, etc.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Google search on INDEO - Intel video became INDEO - codecs are available.

Thanks, Jerry. I just downloaded and installed Ligos Indeo Codec Package for
Windows, but I still can't get sound from the file. GSpot shows the same
codec to be missing. I re-booted in case that made a difference after
installing the Indeo file, but it didn't.

In case it matters, I'm running Vista Ultimate with SP1.
