I have used every step mentioned in the below given link:
http://www.moviecodec.com/solutions/iv31-iv32-iv41-iv50-indeo-3-4-and-5-8211/
installed older version on quick-time, window media player classic. I mean everything. But still no luck running the file.
I was also trying to find a converter to convert the file into an acceptable format. But unable to do that either.
Can anyone help me with this.
Regards Zeeshan

IV50 is Indeo Video 5.0, originally created by Intel then sold to Ligos.
Try a combination off ffdshow tryouts for codec and Media Player Classic Home Cinema as player.
EDIT: from the Wikipedia article:
Indeo is not supported and is not compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 or any Windows 64-bit operating system
Which OS are you using?

Wikipedia link above suggests that indeo support can be enabled on latest Windows versions with regsvr32 ir50_32.dll command. And it worked on my Windows 7 x64! But beware of Security advisory on the same link as codec is intentionally disabled due to known vulnerabilities. – Vadzim – 2013-05-19T17:36:38.467

mplayer can handle playback of IV50. Download the version that includes SMPlayer for a decent windows interface.
Transcoding (if needed) could be handled by the included mencoder which can be done by a command line like:
mencoder <filename.avi> -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=687 -o <output.avi>. Which would convert it to an avi file encoding with xvid.

this old question indicates ffmpeg can transcode iv50 as well: http://superuser.com/questions/11776/convert-an-avi-file-iv50-codec-to-a-quicktime-file

2I think this question is more suited to SuperUser. Also, have you tried it on a different computer if you have another one available? – Jamie Keeling – 2010-03-23T00:21:26.637
